#50 Traceable Time as a Service (with Hoptroff)
What Comes Next? is 50 episodes old! Yes, 50! And we're celebrating with a real doozy of an interview. We're speaking to Richard Hoptroff, whose self-titled startup is providing 'digital time for the virtual world' through a truly unique offering: Traceable Time as a Service.
During a broad and frankly eye-opening conversion, physicist-by-training Richard discusses his long career working in chronology - in which he's done everything from predicting the future with neural networks to dating the ancient past - and explains the growing importance of trackable, synchronised time to our ever-accelerating civilisation.

#49 Ultrasound for Airplanes (with Novosound)

Dave talks about the many applications for Novosound's flexible probes, the company's impressive journey to date, and his sky-high hopes for the wider Scottish Startup scene.

Customer Reviews
Tech I never knew existed
I think what I like most about this show is hearing about all these news technologies I never knew were out there. I love to cook so the first episode - about that underground farm - was really interesting. But most of the episodes have a good guest discussing a fascinating topic.
Great content, insightful hosts
Really interesting topics and the hosts have obviously done their research to provide good questions.
