FAQ

Future skills and career-of-the-future stories. Each episode pairs with a written article on the same title, so you can listen or read. Expect lanes like Biotech, Climate, Health, Space and robotics, Cybersecurity, Media and making, and Entrepreneurship.

Aim for a tight teen explainer you can finish in one sitting. Think podcast length that matches a ~500 to 900 word article, not a novel. Exact runtimes will land with the first audio drops.

The habits and mental models that travel with you while tools keep changing. That includes ideas like exponential technology, abundance, the 6 Ds of tech change, and the 6 Cs (character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking).

The 6 Ds (digitized, deceptive, disruptive, demonetized, dematerialized, democratized) describe how digital ideas grow into everyday shifts. The 6 Cs are practice muscles: character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. We have full pieces on both.

No. Start with whatever lane or skill pulls you. Future-skills pieces stack nicely if you want a path (exponential tech, then abundance, then the 6 Ds and 6 Cs), but every story stands alone.

Shorts are quick clips that point at a full episode or skill piece. Use them as a spark, then jump to the article or podcast when you want the whole story.

Future-skills starters (exponential technology, abundance, the 6 Ds, the 6 Cs) and early career stories in Climate and Biotech, including WeatherNext, AlphaGenome Atlas, PlasticEnz, and the fly connectome map. Audio rolls out as episodes are ready. Until then, read the articles and watch for "coming soon" on players.
