Should I follow my boyfriend to Mars? Can I ask my friend to turn off her Alexa when I come over? Is it okay to have kids while the world is burning? Should I cryopreserve my dog? Your resident futurologist Rose Eveleth tackles the real, the almost-real, and the totally out there questions from today and tomorrow. The future is going to be weirder than we can even imagine, so let’s get ready for it together.
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
What a great concept - taking on some of the potential future challenges we will face, in the form of an advie show. Rose obviously knows her way around the ideas of the future - and she knjows an impressive variety of experts to reach out to as well. Be sure to stick around for her thoughtful essays at the end!
Rose has been in my ears with Flash Forward for years. That podcast was the one that got me into podcasts in general! I always wished I had more of Rose and now I do! The conversational aspect of Advice for and From The Future has been a lot of fun to listen to. It’s well edited though and doesn’t feel like you’re just ease dropping on two people like some other conversational type podcasts. The most fun too is you get to see Rose exploring her creative side with the endings that have also been great. Thanks Rose for another great podcast!
I get excited whenever I see this podcast pop up in the feed. The host uses the "advice show" format to explore some topics that vary from likely to not do likely. The guest is knowledgeable, and there's something fun in with the discussion. It's much lighter than the host's other podcast, but that's ok because not every future needs to be taken super seriously
Rose hits another one out of the park with her take on an advice column for all of our Future adjacent questions. First episode I listened to (maybe it was THE first?) was about following a partner to Mars, and while I dont have a partner, I am often the one in a conversation that would volunteer to head to any given planet for exploration. The episode started with the question at hand and then morphed into the pep talk of a century that made me question everything in my life in such a delightful and kind and thoughtful way - was there a form of escapism I was seeking by glorifying space travel? Complicated question for a therapy session some other day, but that episode stuck with me and I’m happy to pop in every episode for a delightful take on a question that I hadn’t thought about before! It’s different than Flash Forward, but isnt that the point?
