“Sometimes this podcast has the right blend of excitement and discomfort, but the balance seems to favor too much hype. Even with the controversial topics, they rarely seem comfortable leaving an unanswered question. The advertisements for HaNF had me hoping it would "be ok to be a little scared."
Specifically, I like when the hosts ask each other, "how does this idea make you uncomfortable?" They have good contrast, but it would be better if both of them could contribute to interviews. Often it seems that the hosts will hold back criticism if the other host did the interview, so it turns out to be a hype puff piece. I'm sure guests would still come to a debate show or good cop/bad cop, instead!
I wanted Lauren Goode to rip Andrew Hessel to shreds when his interview went off the rails talking about eugenics. However, Both hosts stopped short of calling out the guest's glaring ableism at the end of the July 26 episode. Maybe the power imbalance must make it hard for Goode to speak up? This show can compete with other futurist interviews when it can address the problems that might arise with justice!”Read full review »

I find their discussions on tech topics fascinating and insightful, and I often share their podcast with my global fintech and AI global community.
