There are plenty of podcasts that will tell you how the latest tech gadget or “innovation” will affect the tech landscape tomorrow, but there aren’t that many concerned with the potential impact of that tech in a decade—much less a century. In a culture obsessed with now, how can we make choices with a view for tomorrow, next year, and beyond? 25–35-minute episodes released the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

Positive / Visible / Legal: Vaccinations and the application of force
Show NotesIt's one thing to be pro-vaccination. It's another to mandate vaccinations for everyone on the same schedule without any exceptions.
It's one thing to be an anti-vaxxer. It's something else entirely to have reservations about the particular schedule a government mandates.

Carefully.
