We tell stories that shape the future. The Future Lab podcast is a platform for authors of science fiction, climate fiction, and fantasy to discuss how we shape our future with the stories we tell today. We feature fiction authors who are exploring science fiction, fantasy, and climate fiction, and publishers and platform-builders who are amplifying fresh voices in those genres. Past seasons of the podcast have covered indie publishing and book marketing. The episodes are an open conversation about how to create online communities that are diverse, welcoming, and safe. In each episode, Lee Schneider interviews a platform creator, an author, or publisher about their projects and the communities they are building online.
