Jon Richardson and the Futurenauts - The Book of Revelations


Comedian and professional worrier Jon Richardson doesn’t sleep much at night. The questions he is asking himself in the small, dark hours see to that. Are we going to run out of food? Is it already too late to stop climate change? Should I start learning Mandarin? Are killer death robots from the future already among us? Will my kids grow up to see a real tiger or giraffe? Why hasn’t anyone yet made an intelligent hairbrush? Oh they have? As you were…
Playing on his own paranoia Jon will discuss his fears with guarded optimists Ed Gillespie and Mark Stevenson aka ‘The Futurenauts’. Authors, futurists and provocateurs, to ease Jon’s angst Ed and Mark take him on adventures through the futures we need that already exist today.

Julesah6 ,

Better late than never!!

So glad I stumbled on this podcast … I only discovered it last week and just wish I’d have found it earlier to get the full benefit in lockdown, but nevertheless, it’s entertaining, educational, inspirational, challenging and at times moving. Advantage to being late to the party is that I get to listen to it daily … while stocks last … so an almighty dip is just around the corner … but I guess I’ll just have to have found a way by then to unf… myself :-)
