Broadcast From The Singularity

Zoltan Istvan - author, sailor, inventor of volcano surfing - joins us to talk about the world's most provocative coming-of-age story: The Transhumanist Wager.

Micah interviews world-traveling science fiction writer Colin Wright. A kid hearing super-smart voices, a singularity cult leader, a futuristic hacktavism group — all this and more are explored in this episode.

See how prescient we were about the future, discover whether the world ever came to an end, find out about the Singularity & fashion, why Google makes cars, and what the difference between birds and planes tells us about AI.

In the second part of our interview, Derek Webb talks about how to approach the oncoming future with values and practicality, as well as going into the problems with laws, the Amish, hippies, Kevin Kelly, and the iPhone 13.

In the first part of our interview, Derek Webb introduces us to an album about the dawn of the first AI, and poignantly shows us just how disconnected we're all becoming. Stayed tuned for the rest of our conversation.

Ryan catches up with Jason Silva at the Seattle Interactive Conference to talk about the adjacent possible, genomes as artwork, embracing ecstasy, and dealing with existential despair.

The Spirituality and the Singularity series continues! James Carroll, a researcher at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, shares his experiences in the diverse worlds of A.I. and Mormon Transhumanism.

How does the Singularity impact Spirituality? The series kicks off with Mike Morrell addressing the intersection of Christianity and accelerating change, and gives us an expansive look at the history of humanity from the dawn of time to the far future.

John, Ryan, and Micah discuss how to look at the future and the Singularity. Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a catastrophist? What nightmare scenarios are possible? What is the best-case scenario, and how can we steer in that direction?

What is art? What's it like to paint on an infinite canvas? Is art the only thing standing between us and the robot invasion? Micah Redding, Ryan Hogan, and John Yates in the first official podcast of Broadcast From The Singularity!
