The Best of 2030: from episodes 1-9 of 'From What If to What Next‪'‬ Rob Hopkins

Every episode of 'From What If to What Next' begins with my inviting my guests to close their eyes and to walk us through what they imagine 2030 could be like if it were the result of our having done everything we could possibly have done. What would it feel like, taste like, sound like? It is often the most powerful and beautiful part of the podcast.

And so, our producer Ben Addicott has painstakingly pieced together the best bits of those visions, and together with Tamsin Cornish, written beautiful music to accompany them. When all pieced together, this podcast offers you a deep and rich immersion in a future that is still possible to us, just. It's not Utopia, but it is a walk through the possible. As the poet Rilke once wrote, "the future must enter into you a long time before it happens". This podcast allows it to do so in the most beautiful way.

If there was ever a time in history when clear, abundant and positive visions of the future were vitally needed, this is that time. I so hope you love this, and that the time Ben and Tamsin put into lovingly crafting has produced something you will cherish and love.
