Listen Now to Future News 5.02.2017 We are just back from a vacation in Tennesee, and naturally we have things to discuss from our journey, along with many stories from our many guests this week.  Dr. Bruce is just back from a NASA Astrobiology conference in Arizona, sharing with us the excitement many in that field are experiencing with all the new Earth type planets discovered around nearby star systems.  Taylor brings us up to speed with all things Apple and delves into his new beat, the exciting ‘end-of-prohibition’ times of Cannabis in the U.S.A. and California in particular. Then Gregory Panos takes us to the National Association of Broadcasters in Las Vegas, where all things media are explored.  His interest in VR takes him to the latest and greates in that arena, such as 4K 3D 360 video with depth perception.  And Mrs. Future shares her pat down experiences with TSA.  Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 4.25.2017 If you are in NorCal, it’s a great time to get out and smell the flowers, as spring as sprung in these green hills! And if you live in Phoenix, AZ, you can now get free rides to the flower zones via Google’s Waymo autonomous car fleet of over 500 robot minivans. They are now in a beta test program, for those of you who feel brave!  Closer to home, we five our report of the MAPS conference, “Pychedelic Science 2017,” an amazing event, as such research comes out of the dark ages and into the light of scientific scrutiny. We found a plastic munching catepillar most fascinating, and may solve one of our planet’s big problems, plastic pollution. And on the edge of reality itself, you’ll enjoy our discussion of the ‘silly putty’ nature of the aging process, and a new substance that comes towards you as it is pushed..just weird..enjoy!

Listen now to Narayani Gaia and Chief Elk Man In our ongoing explorations of the intersection of science and shamanism, we present you with our interview of planetary healers and tribal leaders, Narayani Gaia of Santa Cruz and Chief Elkman of the Lakota Sioux Nation.  A cross-cultural bond forged on 11/11 last year, they share with us their work, culminating in the upcoming “Starseed Visionary Conference, A UniverSol & Spiritual Gathering to benefit our collective future.”  Happening this May 13 & 14th in Santa Cruz, CA, it brings together some wisdom teachings of the Lakota Sioux Nation, such as the White Buffalo Calf Woman with sacred music, art, sound healing, and ‘star knowledge transmissions.’  Should be a good cross-pollenation of traditional and new knowledge. We had an inspired interview and we look forward to covering the actual event!  The extro music at the very end was performed by Angela Blessing and Yakshi Man. Enjoy.. Chief Elkman, Narayani Gaia, and Mrs. Future in Blessing Ceremony behind KSCO Studios after the show.  

Listen Now to Future News 4.18.2017 We had an amazing experience at TEDx Berkeley this last weekend and shared a few of the highlights on today’s show.  Plus a little download on what’s happening at F8, Facebook’s annual Developer’s Conference, going on this week.  And most personably, we have some great stories from callers Col Terry and Dr. Joe. Col Terry shared a personal story with Christopher Reeves and Dr. Joe explains how an anesthesiologist understands levels of consciousness as a patient is being gassed.  We were kind of curious how many patients experience out of the body experiences while being put under for operations, but he really didn’t know about that. A nurse caller, however, told us that they hear about such stories before the docs do and she estimated that about 8-10% of surgery patients experience something unusual when they are being put under. Enjoy.. The TEDx Berkeley Team 2017

We also had a whirlwind trip to LA and back, where among other things we had a chance to check out some of the latest VR titles, including “Dear Angelica,” and a little tour of the International Space Station. This dovetails nicely with the reboot of the Matrix film and the just released Mars tour by astronaut Buzz Aldrin!

Listen Now Dr. Future Show 3.14.2017 We have a special guest this week, the magical and incomparable indy geologist and overall renaissance man Richard Ely, whose first spiritual experience was triggered by seeing and grokking a geological time spiral. What’s that you say?  Good question. In this show, Richard shares with us his perception and understanding of geological time, taking us on a journey through billions of years via radio, the “theater of the mind.” One geo time travel destination Richard discusses is the experience of being near the asteroid impact Chicxulub that extincted the dinosaurs. Enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 3.07.2017 We had a lot of fun this weekend attending the Cinequest Film and VR Festival in Silicon Valley.  Actually, we just attended the VR Fest..not that we don’t like films, its just that there was so much cool stuff with VR that we just didn’t have time for anything else!  So, the first part of today’s show is all about what we saw at the festival, with our recommendations.  At the 45 min mark, we ask VR creator Jean Yves Chainon about the future of social VR and who is in that world. We also spent a considerable amount of time exploring the Vault 7 Wikileaks releases on the CIA and their Year Zero exploits this week. What a treasure trove with lots of implications! Listener Col Terry called in to remind us how serious this breach is..What do you think?  Enjoy..
