Broadcast From Later
A podcast by the Toronto-based foresight studio, From Later — this is our experiment in recording the earliest phases of foresight and speculation. Futures thinking begins with identifying and unpacking Weak Signals of Change — things we notice that we don’t quite understand but we suspect may influence futures in significant ways.
On Broadcast From Later, we share our “Weakest Signals,” novel and weird events that appear faintly at the edges of our research radars. None of us know each other’s signals in advance, so it’s a candid view into the kinds of conversations we have when we frankly don’t know what we’re talking about.
We invite you to listen in on the researchers and strategists of From Later, as we try to wrap our minds around emerging changes and speculate on their potential significance.
