The Radical Futures Project, conceived in the Spring of 2019 at McGill University's Building 21, seeks to explore what it means to alter the means by which we may imagine the future. This two-part podcast episode recounts the activities of the project, including interviews with science fiction writers, scientists, philosophers, anthropologists and philanthropists; creative writing exercises; and an exploratory seminar that was ultimately interrupted by the ultimate Radical Injunction: the global pandemic which has arguably altered our relation to the future forever. As a retrospective piece, this broadcast traces a through-line across the project's myriad voices and formats. Voices include Damian Arteca, Ollivier Dyens, Jonathan Ledgard, Alexander Weinstein, Ed Finn, Amit Ben-Eliyahu, David 'Jhave' Jhonston, Rebecca Brosseau and Khando Langri.
