FAQs
Questions, answered
What can listeners expect? +
Long and short form chats and interviews with the world's leading future thinkers from academia, business and government. The very people working on the weak signals, trends and drivers that are defining the future of humanity. We discuss what's keeping them up at night, and what they might be doing to help prepare for a disaster.
Along the way we chat about their origin story, take a deep dive into what they've got to teach us, and ask what society should be doing more or less of to address the issue. We rate how prepared we are on the prep-o-meter (TM pending), a scale of 1 to 10, and, of course, hear the one thing they would take into their doomsday bunker.
