    DEATH: How will technology change the way we die?
    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. They’re organized, pissed, and anything but resigned in their fight against climate change. But can they actually win?

enjoyed this

loved alot of these episodes. BUT the one episode I'm dying to comment on is, the stuff episode, where he visits his mothers basement and encourages her and others to throw away all your old stuff and wants her to burn an old piece of furniture from the 30s. made me so sad.. buying less is the better solution. not throwing things away and adding to landfills. donating or selling would be a better option. vintage goods are awesome!

A Gift of Letting Go

You and your sweet precious mom sound like you could be me and my own mom. Great listen with integrity and forthcoming about the STUFF issues we all face in life. I, too, have been working through my own cluttered life with mom and although the process is like Turtle speed for me, as long as I visualize small baby steps improvement, I keep on keeping on. Btw, let's talk about those RS mag collection one day eh? or maybe not! ah Haha Haha ....
