A weekly podcast exploring our collective futures in a technologically complex world
Opportunity
Some of the most interesting and enlightening conversations between experts on technology, society, risk, and the future occur in the hallway, or over coffee. These would be a fantastic resource to students, professionals, other experts, and anyone with an interest in building a better future – if only they were public.
Project
The The ASU Future Out Loud Podcast – hosted by Risk Innovation Lab members Heather Ross and Andrew Maynard – brings casual, engaging, and often entertaining conversations on emerging technologies and their potential impacts on society to a wide audience.
Goals
The Future Out Loud podcast is aimed at engaging listeners of all ages, all over the world. Through casual and engaging conversation, it explores the intersections between technology and society, and how these influence the future. It is a remarkably effective platform for connecting with and informing students, researchers, professionals and others in a highly engaging format, and making the expertise of Lab members and others publicly accessible.

The Future Out Loud podcast provides listeners with a weekly dose of engaging and entertaining “hallway” conversation on our collective futures, and how emerging science and technology are impacting society. It’s a long-form podcast that allows participants to explore topics in some depth. This also makes it perfect for listening to while doing other tasks like driving, exercising, and traveling to the office or class.
You can listen and subscribe to the podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play.
Funding
The Future Out Loud podcast is currently fully funded through the Risk Innovation Lab,and the School for the Future of Innovation in Society. Please contact us for sponsorship opportunities.
