Meanwhile in the future

Favs

AAAA

Far Away

What happens when women no longer have to physically bear children? Who wins? Who loses? Who takes artificial wombs to a far away planet to create a colony of super-beings? 

A Womb Away from Home

What would happen if the Earth suddenly had a second moon? This week, we work through the impact an additional satellite would have on our planet, from tides, to the night sky, to the potential destruction of Earth. Oh also there are space pirates. 

The Second Moon is a Harsh Mistress

This week’s future is a social experiment. What if Earth had a robotic overlord who decided to ban all weapons? All fights would have to be hand to hand. Would there be less death that way? Less casualties? What counts as a weapon anyway? Listen to the episode to find out!

Forcing the Hand

This week on Meanwhile in the Future we step onto the field and talk about contact sports. What would it take to create a future in which the most dangerous sports die out? What are those sports to begin with? What does a world without football look like?

The Most Dangerous Games

Over the past 85 years, antibiotics have been miracle drugs. They’ve kept infections at bay and opened up a world of medical possibilities: organ transplants, heart surgery, chemotherapy. But they’re not going to work forever. The age antibiotic resistance is coming. So what does a world without these drugs look like? 

Revenge of the Germs

This was my fave track on the album, and the track that I thought would be the one that everyone played on the radio shows. But nobody did! It one of two tracks that got no radio or podacst play whatsoever! Don't get me wrong, Im glad that the other tracks got played, but this is the one I thought that they would all go for. I'm quite glad I don't yet know my audience, keeps me on me toes!

Anyhoo this is the instrumental version (without that annoying Micro vocal that I grew to regret) that isn't available on the album. But here it is in its full mp3 glory!!!

In 2006, scientists described the world's first invisibility cloak. But there was a catch. It only worked in two dimensions, and on microwaves. But to what if scientists and engineers could created a true invisibility cloak? 

Unseen

Modern sequencer synth music with a nod to the retro scene.

Chromium Assassin (From The Album - Syntax ERROR)

Yo, this is the last track of 2015 I'm gonna be putting out! It's a remix of a song by the super talented @mothica for you all. 

The San Francisco Mixtape is officially coming out on January 22nd! This will be my last song until then.

Mothica – No One (Smoke & Mirrors Remix)

Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.
