In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes journalist, transhumanist and 2020 Republican Presidential Candidate Zoltan Istvan to the program along with reporter Jon Bowne of Daily News Collective to discuss the topic of transhumanism and politics.

With the dawning of new technology comes a new horizon of ethical questionss. How far is too far with the integration of man and machine? At what point will the line between man and machine indistinguishably blur? Will the world of A.I. lead us into the dystopian future as seen in so many Science Fiction movies?

As the 2020 election draws near we are beginning to dig deeper into the platforms of potential Presidential candidates. Why are so many of their platforms devoid to topics like the ethics of transhumanism? How can we as a society turn our eyes toward the future and beginning paving the way for candidates like Zoltan Istvan, who keep the future of technology and the ethics relating to it in their sights while maintaining a firm hold on what is politically relevant and important in today’s society?

Join the Dudes n Beer podcast as we welcome Zoltan Istvan, Transhumanist and 2020 Republican Presidential candidate and Jon Bowne of Daily News Collective as we discuss the world of transhumanism and the political and ethical issues inherent with the merging of Man and machine.

This week on Yes But Why Podcast, we feature 5 conversations with creatives who attended the Podfest Multimedia Expo 2020: Trenton Bennett, Ann Kimbrough, Merlyne Jean-Louis, Kris Keppeler, and Harry Duran. Listen in as they share stories from their experiences!

Podfest 2020 was an amazing experience for me. I learned so much and I was excited to be a part of it. I met festival founder, Chris Krimitsos at the Outlier Podcast Festival in Austin. Chris saw me teach an improv workshop to podcasters at that event and asked me to join him at Podfest this year to help the community feel welcomed and loved.  It was my honor to come to Orlando to support Chris and his team.

Of course, while I was at Podfest, I snagged a few people to interview. I recorded in the nooks and crannies of the Orlando World Center Marriott during the festival on Thursday March 5th and Friday March 6th. I had so much fun and I am excited to share this episode with you!
