Is The World F*cked?

How to tackle plastic pollution? Can we? We rip into the plastic polluters spewing their packaging across our landscapes and into our rivers and growing the monumental garbage-islands that are already blanketing our oceans. What can we do to stop these vandals? What can we do to trap the stuff earlier? Can we make recycling work? Are bio-plastics the answer? Warning: we’re angry, and we aren’t holding back!

And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!

Rollable solar panels you can keep in the trunk? How about wireless charging while you’re honking down the highway at full throttle? And what crazy scheme are they trialing on the highways of northern Germany that has Dr Bruce so excited?
Tune in and find out!

Ready for some darkness? All this year, senate committees and billionaires and scientists have been wrangling the question, ‘Is AI an existential threat to humanity?’ Yes, really. Dr Bruce and PJ wade into the arguments, for and against. So, how could it happen? What do we watch out for? Will our executioner be Skynet, The Terminator, HAL 9000 ... or Siri! Remember that wrong turn off a bridge? Thant's one way Siri can kill you! Um, PJ? Your Roomba has an unblinking red eye, and it seems to be following me wherever I go ...
Wanna dive deeper? Read Dr Bruce’s essay "Should We Worry About Skynet?
