Tomorrow, Today Tomorrow Today

We wrap up our first season and discuss favorite moments, future goals of the show, whether or not we should embrace our alien overlords, and if beaches made of cremated remains are the best way to build a beach body.



We'll be back in July; check out our other podcasts Death & Friends, The Poor Proles Almanac, and the Gastropocene in the meantime!

Tune into this episode of Tomorrow, Today, where we discuss the role of cemeteries in our community identity and our fight against invasive species. Why are cemeteries so important in understanding our local ecology, and why should we learn to reclaim our local cemetery?

We've all snuck a look at porn as a young adult, and no one's browser is innocent; porn is as human as breathing and drinking water. It's existed in a number of forms and across time. Today, however, porn exists in increasing access and with new professionalism. We're joined by Vibe Ryder to discuss sex work, the future of sex work in porn, and the new challenges porn in the digital streaming era faces, even with the growth of platforms such as Onlyfans.

In this episode, we're joined by none other than Ruth Goodman, best known for her work on the Farms series with BBC (Wartime Farms, Tutor Farms, Victorian Farms) as well as the BBC Victorian Pharmacy miniseries. She's also the author of a number of books on Victorian era women and is a free lance historian working with museums, theatre, television and educational establishments.

In this episode, we talk about how our day to day routines have a huge cumulative effect on the environment, our shopping habits can sway the world's patterns of trade, and how we organize and run our family life sets the political tone of nations. How have we seen this in domestic work in history, what have we learned from looking at history, and how has covid changed our relationship with domestic work and how we identify in relation to how we exist?

n this episode, we discuss the evolution of birds, how our understanding of ancient history is still evolving, and which was the baddest ancient bird of them all.

Dr. Dan Field is a vertebrate palaeontologist interested in the evolutionary history of birds and other amniotes. Our group's research explores the vertebrate fossil record and organismal biology in a phylogenetic framework to explore how and when extant vertebrate diversity has arisen. His work at the Field Lab aims to decipher the origins of modern avian biodiversity using fossil, anatomical, and molecular data, although we have deep interests in evolutionary questions across the vertebrate tree of life. In 2020 we revealed the discovery of the "Wonderchicken", Asteriornis, the oldest-known modern bird fossil and an early relative of the group that gave rise to living chickens and ducks. Major themes of our research include clarifying how birds survived and diversified following the mass extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, studying the evolutionary histories of major bird groups, and understanding the evolutionary origins of distinctive biological features such as the modern bird skull.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Julie Carpenter to discuss artificial intelligence, the future of robots, and what these technologies mean for humans. How do we understand our identity as technology continues to advance, and how far away are we from the dystopic future painted in futuristic movies?

Dr. Julie Carpenter is a world-leading expert on robot-human relationships. She made headlines in 2013 when she released her groundbreaking new study on the emotional ties between military personnel and military robots. As a result of the study, which revealed that soldiers often name and even fall in love with their robots, and hold funerals for robots that have been destroyed, the public came face-to-face with a reality that had previously only been considered in the realm of science fiction. As autonomous systems proliferate in both the military and civilian spheres, Carpenter’s research will become extremely important; it will help us understand not only how we will have feelings for robots, but also the ethical, social and practical consequences of developing relationships with machines. Carpenter has inaugurated a complex and perhaps uncomfortable discussion about an issue which, bizarre as it may seem to us now, will eventually touch everyone who interacts with autonomous machines.
