Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.

2. PRECIPICE
Why does it always feel like we’re on the verge of something — great or terrible? And how do we resist the pull, the lull, and the stress of the void?

3. PUPATION
This is the very last episode of the show ever. And on it we tackle the big, BIG question: how do you change the world?

Customer Reviews
Vanguard Estates
This is very thought provoking. Well worth the wait. I listened to them all and all endings make you think. Thank you!
Bio-Leninist Affirmative Action
Typical race baiting, pro trans agenda pushers
Thought-provoking and at times frustrating futurism
I enjoy this exploration of possible futures and the author clearly invests a lot of time and energy to create a great show. I also find the approach frustratingly uneven at times - sometimes the author dives very deep on a narrow aspect of an issue, but leaves significant questions unexplored or unasked. Either way, consider my thoughts provoked.
From an editorial perspective - I've disliked most of the music used on this show, and I don't understand the ongoing focus on "seasons" of the show.
