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 re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident. Well, sometimes it was. It was also the result of hard work, teamwork, and competition. And incredibly surprising moments. Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

We humans could have a bright future ahead of us that lasts billions of years. But we have to survive the next 200 years first. Join Josh Clark of Stuff You Should Know for a 10-episode deep dive that explores the future of humanity and finds dangers we have never encountered before lurking just ahead. And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too.

67. My Heart is in Luangwa (with Robi Watkinson, Host of Zoology Ramblings & The Biomes Project)

Today Jack is joined by Robi Watkinson to chat all about his experiences across South Africa and Zambia! This includes filming out of the side of plane with no doors on, getting slightly too close for comfort with some crocodiles, otter spotting, and the essential but tiresome task of removing invasive Eucalyptus!
The duo also discuss the importance of diversity and seeing yourself in the field of conservation, some of the amazing people who inspire Robi, and why his heart will always remain in the Luangwa Valley... spoiler alert, it has a lot to do with the Leopards.
Robi will be back next week to chat all about mental health, diversity, his experience at the University of Cape Town, and a very elusive Orchid!
