Future Histories Podcast
Future Histories is a podcast by Jan Groos dedicated to the ‘expansion of our idea of the future’. Started in May 2019 the bi-weekly podcast delves into a wide variety of topics ranging from democratic planning and political theory to the philosophy of technology, democratic transformation, and alternative futures. This interdisciplinary investigation, however, shares a common ground in that all topics discussed are not only of high relevance for the renegotiation of existing societal narratives and practices, but also crucial for imagining and developing desirable worlds to come.
