Listen Now to Dr.Mrs. Future Show 7.05.22 An eclectic summer show, and with Bobby testing positive with Omicron, some thought on treating his condition, with many suggestions from the audience and from himself.  It appears Fauci also has a recurrence of Omicron now as well, and we look at his experience with Pfizer’s pill, Paxlovid.  We also have some space news this week (launching Captstone to lunar orbit), light therapy news, sonically assited Out of the Body Experiences, brainwave patterms that show recognition in court, and an efficient form of synthetic photosynthesis that can work in the dark! Enjoy.. Plants are growing in complete darkness in an acetate medium that replaces biological photosynthesis.

Listen Now to Future News 6.28.2022 What a week it is, from epic space launches to  the crazy artist AI, DALL-E, that will draw anything you request, on the spot.  The photo you see here was generated from the description, “An astronaut riding a horse on the moon with earth in the sky in photorealistic style.” We enjoyed having Michael Olsen stop into the studio briefly to chat with us, after being George Noory’s guest the night before on Coast to Coast! We spoke about why would anyone eat Beyond Burgers, such as Dr. Future, who loves them.  Shane checked in from Australia this week on how we might wake up from our collective amnesia, Mike on Earth as a vacation destination, and Marsha shared her multi-generational relationship with a local hawk family in the Redwoods. Enjoy!

Listen Now to Michael Sammet The US Capitol hearings investigating the Jan 6 2021 insurrection are underway and just may have as much import as the Watergate hearings of the 1970’s.  Our guest, college prof Michael Sammet, strongly feels that way, and has been tracking the hearings, play by play, as if they were a cross between a hot Neflix series and an important sports match. Michael argues that our American democracy is at stake, that there is nothing more important than the peaceful transfer of power, and that hearings make it clear that Trump was doing everything to stay in power. Political Shakespeare..One listener texted, “Really great guest! He did a masterful job in summarizing the hearings. I’ve been watching every one.” The Futures at KSCO with guest Michael Sammet

Listen Now to Future News 6.21.2022 Another amazing friend has passed, a pioneer in tech and the arts, JJ Webb. We speak of him today and some of his accomplishments in space tech and online poetry.  In space news, the ISS dodged some space junk, NASA’s giant rocket, known as SLS (Space Launch System), had a mostly successful wet test with fuel on the launchpad, and Space X has to address more environmental concerns as it makes its way to its next launch. And closer to home, Zuck himself outlines the features of three new experimental VR headsets, and we look at a new small whirlpool hydro-power generator, small enough to work on neighborhood rivers and canals, powering up to 60 homes! And one of our phone calls this week asked Dr. Future what his vision was for Santa Cruz in 5-10 years.  Enjoy! NASA’s Space Launch System rocket rolled out for a wet dress rehearsal

Listen Now to Future News 6.14.2022 The most discussed story this week by us and our callers was not alien but artificial intelligence, regarding the recent reports of the Google chat system known as LaMDA becoming self aware, by engineer Blake Lemoine. Blake was placed on paid leave as this story broke, and proceeded to post his pov and transcript of his conversations with LaMDA on Medium, listed in our links page. We and our callers explored this story in a way I think you’ll find both entertaining and maybe even educational. Enjoy!

Listen Now to filmmaker Brett Leonard on how the Metaverse can heal our global  human family What will it take to move humanity from the tailspin we appear to be experiencing?  The forces that divide us seem very powerful and we feel the tension all around us..yet…is it possible that we can reflect the better angels of our nature,  perhaps with the help of better stories that we tell to each other, stories perhaps that empower us to be kinder and more loving.   Brett shares with us some of his thoughts and ideas on how the immersive interactive media of the metaverse can embody positive change in a way never before possible, with AI helping us activate group minds,  transcend our differences and bring us to understanding who we are as connected global humans. There are new concepts of the future to grasp, like Medical Immersive environMents or MIMs, for healing psychological trauma, DAOs, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, and ‘Narrative Magnets,’magnetizing people to different story tropes.  After listening to Brett, and you want to know more, check out the podcast, What the F*** is the Metaverse?, an audio podcast created by himself and his millennial son, Shannon, also deeply engaged with new media and the metaverse. Enjoy! Brett Leonard expounding on the Metaverse

Listen Now to Bruce McHenry With a passion for mass transportation and armed with several degrees from MIT, Bruce McHenry sees the future of moving us around en masse as bright. In our brief interview with him he describes a novel evolutionary system where small car-sized vehicles can autonomously combine with other such ‘pods’ to create small trains on a single rail on fast routes, saving energy and time, compared to conventional  cars, buses, and trains. When your pod reaches its destination, it splits off the ‘train’ and drives on wheels to your destination. With today’s revolution in tech, personal rapid transit concepts such as Bruce’s are closer than ever to being realized, disrupting more traditional ways of moving us all.  We enjoyed Bruce’s visionary presentation to us and are excited to share it with you.  He joined us in the KSCO studio with our mutual friend and regular contributor to the show, Giselle Bisson. Also, Apple Computer made some big announcements as they begin their annual WWDC (World Wide Developer’s Conference). Our Apple Analyst (and straight man :-))Taylor Barcroft gives us an Apple update on the latest and greatest Apple products, with high marks especially for the new M2-based MacBook Air. Enjoy! L-R Dr.Mrs. Future, Bruce McHenry, Giselle Bisson at KSCO  

Listen Now to Future News and Views 5.31.2022 How about that meteor storm that never was, eh?  Less than impressive, but a great excuse to freeze outside for an hour, scanning the sky.  We did see two simultaneous meteoric streaks of light at one point, which made StarlinkRV in actionit all worthwhile.  This week we explore the mystery of why some supermassive black holes already existed in the first billion years of our universe (usually they form later), the mysterious giant blob of iron below Hawaii, how dinos may have begun as warm-blooded, and a new asteroid mining startup being funded.  Also of interest is a new easy, cheap, and efficient way to extract water from even dry air, and our personal report on Starlink RV, a newmobile satellite-based internet service. Enjoy! The mysterious mass below the Hawaii Plume

Listen Now to Dr.Mrs. Future Show with Bobby B. Wilder 5.24.2022 Wow, this episode features the most number of callers we’ve ever had! Make sure you look up this coming Monday eve at 10 pm. PDT, as there may be the biggest meteor storm you’ve ever seen, with hundreds of streaks across the sky per minute! We are entering the debris field of a comet and it should be fabulous!! Meanwhile we explore the strange world of flying salamanders amongst the redwoods, invasive jumping worms from Asia, more and more miliitarized police departments, and California’s attempt to reel in this somewhat disturbing trend, audio mimicry by bats, and a new documentary,(A Tear in the Sky) of citizen scientists investigating the incredible flying ‘tic-tacs,’ and other documented alien encounters. Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News & Interview 5.17.2022 Deshaey is  our special guest today in the studio.  A remarkable young man of 28, he has successfully navigated many traumatic events in his life, and credits both amazing therapy and the conscious use of Psilocybin mushrooms in resolving these issues.  We think you’ll appreciate his story as told by himself. We also share with you some new sonifications from deep space, such as the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Our fav new gadget this week are the new language translation glasses from Alphabet (Google). And finally the Feds are investigating UFO’s intelligently, or at least we hope so.. Enjoy.. R-L Desheay with Dr.Mrs. Future at KSCO Studios
