Futur-ish

Arts

Fréquence : 1 épisode/14j. Total Éps: 23

This is futur-ish, a podcast about how nothing is new and everything has happened before. With careers spent meandering (sometimes fortuitously) through design and futures, Radha Mistry and Tobias Revell emerge from the smoking wreckage of existential dread to decode the strange signals, hype and bluster of the everyday future to try, try and try again to make it make sense.

021: BREAKTIME

Saison 1 · Épisode 21

mardi 2 juin 2026 • Durée 01:48

It's all just a little bit too much. With Tobias running headlong into a thesis submission in September it's time to take a summer break and come back even stronger.

020: Sublime Hubris and Existential Dread in the Return to the Moon

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

jeudi 14 mai 2026 • Durée 26:44

Only Radha could find the glorious spectacle of space flight ‘meh.’ Luckily for Tobias, I write these blurbs. Artemis II went round the moon and back and only one year off plan. Is this the kick-off for a new space race?

If it is, it’s a very different flavour than the last one. Gone are the cultural politics preceding the ‘end of history.’ This race is all about who gets to set the terms of the coming cislunar economy that the world’s largest economies are setting their clocks to.

019: Can Futurists be Useful? (with Dr. Bree Trevena and Charlie Warwick)

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 37:58

If you expected four leading foresight professionals to come and deliver a grab-bag of incredible intel, you are sorely mistaken. Instead we’re joined by Dr. Bree Trevena and Charlie Warwick to talk about recent reflections on what it means to be a ‘good’ futurist in the time of systemic complexity, fracturing identities and AI.

018: How Warmer Weather and Collapsing Ecosystems are Driving a Tourism Doom Spiral

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 27:34

There’s been a fair amount of coverage of maritime activities at Futur-ish and we’re pleased to bring you another episode where Radha was triggered by being targeted for luxury cruises. It seems hoteliers are pivoting from the land to the sea as insurance and sea levels rise to meet the warming climate. However, this is all triggering a doom loop where the increase in tourism to endangered places drives them into further endangerment.

Perhaps the people of Croydon, South London hold the answer?

017: The Weird Technology that Might Replace GPS

jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 29:34

As we’ve documented before (see; Kessler Syndrome), the infrastructures we rely on and take for granted are increasingly crumbling and under threat. Cue a surge of investment and interest in alternatives to the systems that have shaped the global economy for the last few decades.

It’s something we talk about all the time, throwing at the end of decks and workshops as a ‘things might get weird’ moment - but what actually is quantum sensing? And how might it reshape our relationship with physical reality?

016: The Movement Charging you to Disconnect (with Tracee Worley)

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

jeudi 19 mars 2026 • Durée 29:50

How much would you pay to be bored? Well, for the kids of Amsterdam it’s about 7 bucks to have their phones locked up and sit and read or do crosswords. Sure, you could just do this anyway without the fee but then would you really feel like you’re part of something, part of a movement?

This week, we’re joined by Tracee Worley to talk about her work in experiential and analog futures and chew over more insights on the turn against tech from the youth of today.

015: Throwing Money and Ideology at the Population Timebomb

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

jeudi 5 mars 2026 • Durée 25:13

While it’s generally agreed that the global population is continuing to expand (at least until flatlining at the end of the century) for some parts of the world it is falling dangerously precipitously with the potential for severe economic and security impacts.

For the wealthy elite of Silicon Valley, this is an ideological failing, one that their blogs and op-eds are ready to tackle with shady conferences that have a whiff of something mid-century Europe about them, and not in the nice furniture way. For others, it’s an opportunity to throw (quite a lot) of money at the problem and see what sticks.

014: Robotaxis into Car Shares; The Real Future of Transport

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

jeudi 19 février 2026 • Durée 29:13

While you were counting down to 2026 on New Years, Tobias was counting down the last seconds of a future he very personally dreamed of; a future with less cars. You see, Zipcar, the UK’s biggest car sharing company were going out of business, ceasing operations for 2026.

Almost simultaneously, the UK government accelerated the timeline on autonomous vehicle trials. Before we know it, LA’s Waymos are going to be hitting London streets. But this isn’t the future either, it’s just a different version of the same car-fuelled nightmare. What if, instead, we already had the perfect technology and just didn’t realise it?

013: Hacking the Collapse of Healthcare into Your Own Hands

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

jeudi 5 février 2026 • Durée 26:53

All over the world, healthcare systems are straining under the weight of ageing populations, crippling costs and overheads and new and novel conditions exacerbated by the biodiversity crisis.

A spate of new gadgets promises to give us more control over our health but if the social problems that underpin failing healthcare aren’t solved, how much can they do? Could we instead use seismic sensors in our feet, colour sensors on our heads and piezoelectric patches on our skin to talk to the planet? To hang out with rivers?

012: Why Leaders are Turning to Gambling to Bet Which Way the World Will Burn

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

jeudi 22 janvier 2026 • Durée 29:13

There’s been enough warning from fiction and indeed reality that people should really know better than to reduce the horror of conflict to gaming, petty bets and the chaos of chance. But perhaps ‘leaders’ really do think the gods play dice and now, as global institutions become increasingly unreliable, they want in.

Things look pretty ‘yucky’ if you, for instance, respect the dignity of human life and though this isn’t anywhere near the first time finance has been tied up in geopolitics, the incentives are all backwards now, fuelling misinformation, deception and misappropriation in the name of a quick crypto-buck.
