Customer Reviews
Actually Very Interesting
I had not previously heard of transhumanism. I just saw an ad for this while listening to another show. I wasn't sure about it after the first episode because I felt like I still didn't know what transhumanism was. But now I'm about six episodes in, and I find the discussions very interesting. I've not thought about most of these issues outside of fiction or at least not in a practical context. I'm not willing to call myself a full-on transhumanist just yet (because it seems too optimistic to me that we can really make all these services and technologies available in a just way -- though I'm interested in trying), but I'm going to keep listening so I can learn on.
Also, I should say that I was expecting that the Christian aspect of this would be a little tenuous, but I find that the host and some of his guests (Amy Gaskin, I'm thinking of) are perhaps a little more conservative and orthodox than I am. Keep it up.
Great content
A little long but great content!
Christian Transhumanism at its best
I really love this podcast. Each episode is very thought provoking. The hosts seem to really care about the topics discussed. My only complaint is that the episodes sometime get a little long, and lose focus for a bit.
