The future is full of epic “what ifs." What if we could read minds? What if a hostile attack took down our nation’s power grid? In every episode of Hyperthetical, host Kerry Bishé asks one of these questions. Then, we explore that question two ways - through speculative science fiction, and through insight from the world’s most brilliant scientists. The result is a genre-bending story woven with real facts and science, bringing together education and imagination. Time travel into a near-future where our biggest “what ifs” become “now whats?”

Messing with my mind - in a good way!
Welp like Black Mirror, this show has me questioning EVERYTHING
Binged in one day
This was a fascinating listen! As a lover of not only Sci-Fi but scientific debate on the possibilities of the things I’ve seen in movies with my poor friends who just want to watch the movie, this scratches an itch in my brain I never thought would be reached. Thanks for solving my endless curiosity with some realistic and entertaining answers!
