Welcome to the After-On Podcast. I'm your host, Rob Reed.

And this is a series of conversations with thinkers, founders, and scientists.

Take a little time and stretch out because these talks are unhurry and meant to bring you

to a top percentile understanding of something important.

So whether you're ready to start up your ideas, a techie, or a lip major, take your time,

engage your mind, and you'll be glad you did it.

Especially this week when we'll be talking to Chris Anderson, the longtime editor-in-chief

of Wired Magazine, who is now the co-founder and CEO of one of the world's leading drone companies.

So welcome to the first episode of what I guess we can call the 1.1 version of this podcast.

The first eight episodes had an explicit tie to my new novel after On, and that I picked

the subjects because of their connection to the book.

Then at the end of each interview, my co-host Tom Merritt and I related things back to

the novel and also discussed a chunk of the story.

Listeners who weren't reading the book could always just tune out for that last section.

If you were a non-reader, you won't notice much of a change, because this podcast will

still center upon unhurry interviews with thinkers, founders, and scientists, just as

it has from the beginning.

For those of you who were reading the book, you'll notice a market change in that Tom

is no longer with me at the end.

Tom has his own podcasts to host.

Several of them, in fact, and after mentoring and teaching me so much, I had to let him

get back to them.
