Yet another ABC show loose with facts. I’ve listened for a while now and several episodes have factual errors and misinformation. Some guests have agendas and are woke. Nothing new here. It’s the ABC so it’s expected. Just a warning to anyone who values truth. Some of this podcast is utter...Read full review »

Antony Funnell (and the staff working with him to produce the show, assuming there remains adequate budget for a team of staff given the ruthless and persistent budget erosion to the ABC by Australian governments) have directed this series of podcasts into an ever deeper and more expansive ocean...Read full review »

A comment regarding the latest episode about monitoring. It claims not all monitoring is trying to control or contain us…yet every researcher discusses their product’s massive potential for abuse - and how they’re ploughing forward anyway. Widespread monitoring - say in your flooring, or the...Read full review »

Unfortunately, reembracing the spirit of public service is not enough. The public service has to be re-imagined if it is to play a signicant role in addressing the problems of modern society. The seminal work on this is MISSION ECONOMY by Mariana Massucato. For a taster, see the BBC HARDTalk...Read full review »

Future Tense delivers great listening as it explores big ideas in science and technology by looking at current practices, what is at the cutting edge and possible futures. Current program on the Role of Story Telling provides insights into many areas.

....makes so many basic errors. EV experts; “EV’s run on the grid today emit less CO2 than a conventional ( ICE) car”. Future Tense; “.... if you’re charging from the grid you’re contributing to the burning of fossil fuels”. EV’s are so efficient ( 90-95%) unlike the 30% of conventional...Read full review »

I just gobbled up the pod on nuclear fusion. I’ve never heard anyone explain magnetic confinement fusion so elegantly, so simply. Magic is science. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone that delights in what is to come and spends a lot of time mulling on futurism, particularly the...Read full review »

Impressive

Wow, an episode about the future of entrepreneurship and innovation which featured no entrepreneurs or innovators. Be sure to check out the next Episode, “The future of space travel”, featuring interviews with a house painter and a bottle of laundry detergent. Well done.

It’s a goodie. My favourite one from ABC Radio. I like to listen to it. Maybe listen to an episode? See what you think? We might share the same tastes.

This show tackles a new concept about the future every week. Whether it’s the future of corruption in politics, innovation in the business world, new sources of energy, transportation, robotics or communication, this show maps it out in fascinating detail. Great guests, great production.

Like a more Australian version of freakanomics but the host has a much better radio voice than Steven Dubner.

Very fascinating podcast. Glad to see Australia is making some quality podcasts.
Quyentessence via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/29/17
I love this podcast. The topics are a bit off the beaten track for a futurism related podcast, and somewhat unexpected (like the episode on handwriting) which keeps things interesting.

Very interesting

Another excellent show from RN. Definitely worth a subscription.

This note is to the ABC. Please use the actual release date, using a date in the future makes your podcast incorrectly pinned to the top of the list.

Ok, so maybe not the future but the best of the present. This show presents a awesome look at innovative technologies, ideas and discussions at the cutting edge of modern thought. They also manage to find really great guests.

I've been listening to Future Tense on RN & Radio Australia since 2009 and what won me over early on was a show on the Future of Conferences. Events need to evolve and this particular show was a show and tell of what can work well if we do things differently. Future Tense helps listeners...Read full review »
