    00_README (start here)

    BELLWETHER is a podcast of speculative journalism: true stories of the world as it is, presented through the lens of what it might become. Host Sam Greenspan presents original reporting about collisions with technology—and all framed within a sci-fi radio serial, set in a future where the internet has disappeared, and humans are learning how to live alongside sentient A.I. This extended trailer is your skeleton key for understanding the forthcoming show. More info at bellwether.show.
