Description
Provocative, profound discussions at the intersection of science, art, and philosophy with paleontologist-turned-futurist Michael Garfield and a growing list of awesome guests. This is a podcast for our largest audience: the unborn future archeologists digging through our digital remains. What messages of value can we leave them? And what will they think about us living in this weird and wonderful transition age, poised on the cusp of planetary electronic culture? Explore time, and our species' place in it, through banter of the geeky, unconventional, free-roaming, fun, irreverent, and thoughtful kind – an auditory psychedelic to prepare you for a wilder future than we can imagine.

Customer Reviews
I might be biased, but...
This podcast is a collection of the conversations I wished I was allowed to have in school – totally free to go as weird as imaginable, but still anchor all the freaky speculation in the best available scientific knowledge and a well-rounded understanding of psychology and the arts. It's a geek holy grail and it took way way way too long for this to exist. Luckily, whatever archeologists end up digging these out of some buried data crystal a thousand years from now won't have to wait to enjoy the quirky charm of the hosts or the eclectic brilliance of their guests...
Love
I always love Michaels work and especially his podcasts. I look forward to hearing all of these for nuggets of insight in my spare time.
Cerebral, intellectual, and not pretentious
As only Michael Garfield seems to be able to consistently deliver, this podcast is equal parts challenging and fun. Great intellectual conversations with interesting guests. Glad to finally see it on iTunes.
You won't be disappointed!
