EP1 Flying Cars Apr 13, 2021

No matter what year, the idea of flying vehicles helps cement our sense of when the future begins. I’m taking a look at everything flying – from cars to skateboards – and seeing where the tech currently stands. I also look at some classic old toys with comedian Michael Ian Black.

EP2 Teleportation Apr 14, 2021

For decades people have dreamed of a technology that would allow them to instantly be somewhere else. I’m taking a deep dive into teleportation tech and the next best thing – virtual reality with Jake Baldino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

EP3 Robots Apr 15, 2021

I'm taking a look at the tech predictions of the past that we thought would be our future – and in particular robots. I cast an eye back to the toy robots of the 60s, 70s, and 80s and some of the movies that spawned them. And along the way I talk to UrAvgConsumer and Chris Gethard.

EP4 Hyperconnectivity Apr 16, 2021

How did we all get so hyperconnected? I’m taking a look at where it all started – the simple phone – and how things developed. How we went from answering machines to AOL messenger to Facetime. But I’m also taking a look at where it’s all going; and I’m looking at tech that will one day allow us to communicate telepathically.

EP5 Smart Homes Apr 17, 2021

In this episode I’m looking at smart home technology. From remote controls to the Clapper, we’ll find out where it began and where it’s headed. I’m also joined by none other than Bill Gates about how climate change and optimizing energy usage play a part in revolutionizing our homes.
