Skeptoid is the podcast that examines the true history and science behind urban legends,

but today we're giving that same treatment to your own personal experiences.

How do you prepare for a future that's already happening faster than you can think?

From chat GPT to crypto crashes, the future is here now, and it's not what we expected.

Wired's new podcast have a nice future, explores this uncomfortable future with conversations

with people who are already bold-faced names, and the people who should be.

Each week have a nice future's hosts, Gideon Lickfield, Wired's global editorial director,

and senior writer Lauren Goode speak with the top technologists, thinkers, and creators

to bring you stories of politics, culture, commerce, war, art, entertainment,

loss and love, and all are touched by technology.

New episodes of Have a Nice Future are released every Wednesday.

You can listen and follow now wherever you get your podcasts.
