Future of the Past with John Michael Godier

•

Greetings, Comrades! I'm currently unpacking a lot of news information, so I think it's the right time to bring you my very recent interview with a futurist and science fiction author John Michael Godier from the Event Horizon podcast and YouTube channel, as a bit of a breather episode.


We had a conversation about how the Soviet Union viewed life in the future, what were their goals and...then we went to a lot of tangents. Some of which are very dark, as you really can't escape the modern realities that easily. Enjoy!

  • War in Ukraine: Episode 216

     25:22
    Belousov has replaced Shoigu as Russia's minister of defense - and for some reason, western media reports this as a threatening thing for Ukraine. In this episode I explain why they're mistaken, and how this proves that Putin's admitting that he no longer has endless money for the war effort.

    While I was in Texas, enjoying the honeymoon I knew I had to record stuff, because the show won't wait for me, but I did not want to do heartbreaking stuff. Thankfully, Alex had listened to my pre-wedding episode, and wanted to dig deeper about our hero, Stanislav Petrov. We used the rare occasion of a much smaller time zone difference than usual and made this for You - which Alex also posted on his feed too. Enjoy!
