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 ...

It certainly feels like a very shouty world. But have we really reached a new low point in civility? And, if so, where to from here? We examine what civility really entails and how it can help foster cooperation but also lead to the submission of minorities. And did you know that even the design of our urban spaces can shape and limit acts of civility? So, how can we make our cities more sociable? Guests Dr Eduardo Sadoval — Social Roboticist, UNSW Dr Saara Liinamaa — Associate Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Guelph. Also, co-investigator, Sociable Cities Project Rafi Kohan — US-based freelance writer and author Dr Keith Bybee — Professor of Law and Political Science, Syracuse University Further information Rafi Kohan - Trash Talk: The Only Book About Destroying Your Rivals That Isn’t Total Garbage Keith Bybee - How Civility Works Sociable Cities Project…
When a company CEO can be paid 1,000 times the average employee's salary it's probably time to take a long hard look at wealth inequality. And those calling for the rich to pay more aren't always the ones you'd expect – Patriotic Millionaires is a group of mega rich individuals demanding greater, not lesser taxation. Then there's the Dutch philosopher urging ordinary citizens to put a cap on their own personal wealth. She calls her approach Limitarianism. Also, Rewilding the Internet – how to purify an online environment made toxic by monopolistic capitalism. Original broadcast on June 21, 2024. Guests Dr Ingrid Robeyns – author, philosopher and Chair in Ethics of Institutions, Ethics Institute, Utrecht University (The Netherlands) Robert Guest – Deputy Editor, The Economist Morris Pearl – Chair of the Board, The Patriotic Millionaires Professor Jean-Etienne Joullie — EMLV Business School, Paris Maria Farrell – Writer and keynote speaker on technology and the future Further information Ingrid Robeyns: Limitarianism, The Case Against Extreme Wealth Robert Guest: The fallacious case for abolishing the rich Maria Farrell: We need to rewild the Internet Listen to Future Tense - Managerialism and our obsession with hierarchy…
Are we really facing an attention crisis? Historian, Daniel Immerwahr, has his doubts. In fact, he says ours is an era of obsession as much as distraction and of zeal as much as indifference. Also, the paradox of certainty: we crave it, argues the University of Alberta's, Timothy Caulfield, even though it's so easy to fake. Guests Daniel Immerwahr — author and Professor of History, Northwestern University and a contributing writer at The New Yorker Timothy Caulfield — author and Professor of law, University of Alberta Professor Gloria Mark — data scientist and psychologist, Department of Informatics, University of California, Irvine Further information Timothy Coulfield: The Certainty Illusion.

They're cheaper and safer than their lithium counterparts, they're easier to scale-up, and they can hold power for much longer than conventional batteries, so why aren't flow batteries better known? The technology has been under development for decades, but enthusiasts now say they're finding their place in the sun. Also, why more and more cargo companies are turning to wind-power; and do developing countries need to rethink their approach to off-grid power. Guests Emeritus Professor Maria Skyllas-Kazacos — School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering, University of New South Wales Emily Mahoney — Researcher, Malapit Lab, Northwestern University (US) Adjunct Associate Professor Jens Noack — Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, University of Queensland Associate Prof Paul Munro — Associate Professor in Human Geography, The Environment and Society Group, University of New South Wales Gavin Allwright — Secretary General, International Windship Association…
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is opening-up its storeroom, turning the back end of the operation into a public resource. It's about attracting new patrons, but it's also about accountability, the Museum's managers have declared. Across the Western world museums are having to reexamine their mission and redefine the relationship they have with the public they're meant to serve. We explore why and how. We also look at the balance that's being struck between the physical artefact and its digital equivalent. Guests Tim Reeve — Deputy Director, Victorian and Albert Museum, London Dan Hicks — Professor of Contemporary Archaeology, Oxford University Karin de Wild — Assistant Professor in Contemporary Museum and Collection Studies, Leiden University (The Netherlands) Kylie Message-Jones — Professor of Public Humanities, ANU Humanities Research Centre…
A series of massive underground tombs for nuclear waste are currently under construction. They've taken decades to plan and build and they're designed to house the world's nuclear waste for millennia to come. So where are they being built? How safe will they be? And how to devise a toxic waste warning sign that will make sense to people living tens of thousands of years from now? Also, the latest research on how climate change is beginning to impact on internal migration within countries. Guests Mark Piesing — a UK-based freelance journalist Dr Shastra Deo — Nuclear semiotics expert and author, School of Communication and Arts, University of Queensland Professor Raya Muttarak — Professor of Demography, University of Bologna (Italy) Lisa — a climate-concerned resident of South-east Queensland Further information Mark Piesing's article: How to build a nuclear tomb to last millennia…
Terms like "Gen Z", "Boomer" and "Millennial" are popular, but they have no basis in science. Demographers and social scientists are now pushing back. Generational labelling, they argue, is akin to Astrology and while politicians, journalists and media influencers find them irresistible, they actually promote pseudo-science, sew social division and can reinforce prejudicial stereotypes. So why are generational labels so popular? Guests Professor Bobby Duffy — Director of the Policy Institute, King's College London. Author of The Generation Myth. Professor Philip Coen — Professor of Sociology, University of Maryland Professor Crystal Abidin — digital anthropologist and ethnographer of vernacular internet cultures, Curtin University Professor David Costanza — Professor of Commerce, University of Virginia Further information Philip Coen’s open letter to Pew Research Center on generation labels Pew Research Center's response…
Why does Utopian thinking get such a bad rap? It’s often derided as delusional and dangerous. But what if that stereotype is designed to limit our imagination and choices? We hear often that people are tired of democracy and turned off by short-term political thinking. So, is it time to be much more adventurous and ambitious – dare we say utopian – in our imagining of the future? Guests Professor William Paris – Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto Professor Barbara Prainsack – Professor for Comparative Policy Analysis, University of Vienna Professor Anna Abraham – Director of the Torrance Centre for Creativity and Talent Development…
Privatising public services like trains, hospitals or prisons — is a proven vote loser. But governments of both the left and right continue to privatise — when it suits them. And it suits them, it seems, when large sums of money are needed to pay down debt, or when a government seeks to off load risk and liability to the private sector. So, what conditions should be applied to ensure that privatisations truly serve the public interest and don't simply decrease competition? Guests Owen Hayford — Strategic legal and commercial adviser, Infralegal Nino Bucci — Justice and Courts Reporter, The Guardian Richard Denniss — economist and public policy commentator Professor Graeme Samuel — Monash University Business School Benjamin Goodair – Senior post-doctoral researcher, Oxford Universty…
Authoritarians rule through fear. We can clearly see that from China to the Middle East to eastern Europe. But why do we constantly overlook the way in which fear also shapes democratic societies? It's fueling populism and distorting our future focus. Then there's anger. It's inspired generations to man the barricades and right society's wrongs. But anger is increasingly becoming a driver of commerce. There's billions to be made in getting you riled up and keeping you that way. Fear fuels anger, and anger blinds you to recognise that your fear might be misguided. A truly vicious cycle. Guests Erika Ferszt – Owner, founder and lead-consultant, Scintillate Brand Consulting Professor Jennifer Lerner – Public Policy, Management and Decision Science, Harvard University Professor Robert Peckham – historian and Fellow at the Royal Historical Society, London Margot Faraci – Global leadership expert Further information Robert Peckham – Fear: An Alternative History of the World Margot Faraci - Love Leadership Survey…
Algorithmic feeds are meant to personalise our online experiences, but increasingly they're flattening our culture and fostering a dull conformity, according to best-selling author Kyle Chayka. And the influence they exert on our lives is increasingly physical not just digital. Also, data scientist Gloria Mark who has crunched the numbers on how our attention spans have fared over the past decade or so. If you can keep focused, you might find it fascinating. Guests Professor Gloria Mark – data scientist and psychologist, Department of Informatics, University of California, Irvine Kyle Chayka – author and contributing writer for The New Yorker Further information Gloria Mark - Attention Span: A Ground Breaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity Kyle Chayka – Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture…
In our uber-connected world, the development and management of really anything is becoming increasingly complex. Planning for the future has to involve more than just grand ambitions, it also needs to be alert to unintended consequences. Otherwise things you didn't even dream about will go wrong and that can prove enormously costly. Part of the solution is to think past the immediate and adopt a systematic approach to thinking. Guests Dr Edward Crawley – Ford Professor of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Dr Isabel Sebastian – Research Principal, Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney Gavin Maguire – Global Energy Transition Columnist, Reuters News Nicola Twilley – Writer and podcaster, author of the forthcoming book "The Birth of Cool"…
Nostalgia triggers our emotions and that in turn makes us vulnerable to manipulation. We speak with Richard King about the commodification and weaponisation of nostalgic sentiment. Also, New York Times critic-at-large, Jason Farago, on why he believes our cultural age might be the least innovative in half a millennium. Guests Richard King – author and critic Jason Farago – author, social commentator and critic-at-large, The New York Times Further information Richard’s Griffith Review essay - Nostalgia on demand Jason’s NYT essay - Why Culture Has Come to a Standstill…
Most people want to eat better. And many of us have embraced the trend toward "natural" foods and conscious eating. We equate "natural" with healthy, nutritious and virtuous, but that can often be way off the mark. New research shows many healthy alternatives are anything but. And our embrace of the term natural is more about expressing identity and morality rather than healthy eating. Empowering people to understand what and how they should eat is what it should be about – and one way to do that is by using a food labelling app. Guests Professor Sarah Bridle – Chair in Food, Climate and Society, University of York Alan Levinovitz – Associate Professor of Religious Studies, James Madison University Laura Marchese – Researcher, Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Deakin University Julie Chapon – Co-founder of the Yuka app Lisa – Brisbane-based food-rating app user Further information Sarah Bridle: Food and Climate Change -- Without the Hot Air, UIT Cambridge Climate Stack Calculator - A free tool to help you add up the climate impact of different food choices Play the game : Which of your food choices have the biggest climate impact?

Methane levels are going up — not down, despite decades spent trying to reduce emissions from agriculture and landfill. But some countries are bucking the trend, we find out who and how. Breeding sheep and cattle to burp less is one way to reduce methane emissions. ABC Top 5 Science Residency recipient Luisa Olmo talks us through a genetic selection programme that could lead the way forward. Guests Dr Ed Clayton – Ruminant nutritionist, NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development Professor Sam Clark – Professor of Animal Genetics, University of New England Dr Pep Canadell – Chief Research Scientist, CSIRO Environment Producer Dr Luisa Olmo — Research Officer, Meat Science and Value Chains, NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development…
