"We are learning what it means to corrupt an institution," Corey Doctorow.

Government allocation, choosing a Pope, network failure, markets and much more manage to condense into this episode.

"The scenario I'd like to work towards is one where we sunset that narrow, beligerant, ideological view of how we do allocation in favour of one that's more centred on realpolitik."

Looking for what might be the new normal, one person at a time who knows their field.

Each episode we ask experienced people how their specific field, life, industry or community will be different post pandemic.

There’s no way any one person can conceptualise everything that’s going to change, so I’ll keep it specific, based on as much experience as I can muster from people that are happy to think about what comes after.

Subscribe where you’re listening now or on you podcast app to get every new episode from people of varying backgrounds.

Some will speculate about what might be your situation, others won’t feel relevant but because they are able to talk about it they will be to other people.

Post Pandemic

What's going to be different after COVID-19?

It’s not about fabricating a future but what our lives may be like when the coronavirus pandemic is over.

Every guest gets the same 7 questions and with enough episodes we might be able to make some comparisons.
