    Oct 27 2022
    As our lives increasingly exist in digital spaces, how does death fit into our "endless scroll" mentality? In this show, we look at how tech is factoring death into algorithms, how COVID is reviving some older, more intimate death rituals, and we attend a funeral that ends with a boom.

  • CLIMATE: Can the kids actually win in their battle against the climate apocalypse?
    Oct 27 2022
    Talking about climate change can be…a bummer. So Futurology ditches the doom-and-gloom headlines to join the teenagers behind the climate activist group Youth Versus Apocalypse.

Engaging and fun ride from ideologically left-bias source

The programming, editing, and flow of this series is amazing. The big topics that occupy what we do, where we are, and where we are going play central theater to this entertaining foray into future-forecasting. The intimate ride-a-long with Otis and others as they tell their stories and give insight is refreshing in it’s style and ability to draw you in. As you jump into each episode you are excited to hear where the story takes you, and ponder your own directions as a result. In some of the episodes there is a pointedly leftest-foundational structure which arguments and assumptions are built upon, but it is easily identifiable and takes nothing away from the overall richness of this series and storytelling. Well done everyone involved in this, thank you.

Chaotic and not well-organized

I was looking forward to this podcast, but it is kind of rambling and just has a lazy, random feel to it.

PROPAGANDA AND HIGHLY ONE SIDED

it is so tacky and Greenhorn. I also got really bored, it clearly lacks life experiences like most of the med students., The system and media in the long run, builds cockyness and in return mis diagnose. But, that's just my experience
