Plausible futures

What’s on the horizon and what does the future hold? In this episode, hosts Matt Potter and Rob Gardner meet the people putting in the hours to investigate what our world might be like in the years to come. Gavin Serkin, author of Frontier: Exploring the Top Ten Emerging Markets of Tomorrow, has travelled the world scoping out frontier markets, while Nicholas Booth and Elizabeth Howell, authors of the new book The Search for Life on Mars: The Greatest Scientific Detective Story of All Time, have examined the ultimate frontier market. Finally, we meet Future Today Institute founder Amy Webb, the futurist who doesn’t predict the future but models it – with a methodological approach and by challenging her own biases. Presenters: Rob Gardner, Matt PotterProducers: Sera Berksoy, Nathan Copelin, Stuart KnottAssistant Producers: Chris Marais Hosted on Acast.
