    Christian Kromme: The world needs a reset. Nature shows us the way.

    Christian Kromme: The world needs a reset. Nature shows us the way.

    The evidence is all around us. The human systems and institutions built over millennia are simply not working to address the many pressing existential issues we face. Renowned futurist Christian Kromme believes he knows why, and how humanity can hit the reset button. We must look to nature for the models - and the inspiration - needed to transform the world in our lifetimes. Join me as Christian and I explore this provocative and ultimately optimistic thesis.

    Wendy Orent: Pandemics are now a matter of choice. We CAN prevent the next one.

    Wendy Orent: Pandemics are now a matter of choice. We CAN prevent the next one.

    "pandemics are not accidents... things that just happen, forces outside humanity... pandemics are something that we actually make." And so begins my discussion with Wendy Orent, author of Plague: The Mysterious Past and Terrifying Future of the World's Most Dangerous Disease and a well-known science writer with a focus on pandemics, biological weapons, and the evolution of infectious diseases. Wendy explains the history of pandemics, and the most recent COVID experience so that we can all understand it. And then tells us how we can prevent the next one in an equally understandable fashion.

    Join six times published thought leader and noted futurist, Graeme Codrington and I for a thought provoking exploration of the future of work as seen from 2022, and his ideas on how we can transform the workplace into a space of wonder. Given’s that he’s spent three decades working on this - you should listen. And where do we start? By adopting a four day work week, where the results of our labour are rewarded - not the hours worked. This is serious stuff, even existential. Listen in to see why.

We all need to listen to him.
