The New Abnormal
#TheNewAbnormal podcast (which has over 250,000 downloads) focuses on understanding today and anticipating the future. Discussing these subjects via the viewpoints of my guests has led to some fascinating conversations with activists, creatives, writers, philosophers, strategists, psychologists, lecturers, futurists, etc. Re: my bio, I'm a strategist, author and speaker. My 1st book went to No1 in the business charts, whilst my 2nd was shortlisted for the 'Business Book of the Year' Awards. (The podcast partners with The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, a global leader in applying futures studies to solve strategic challenges, helping clients to be #FuturesReady.) So, we hope you enjoy listening to the series - which was set up during the early days of Covid, and is divided into Series One [2020-21] Two [2022] Three [2023] Four [2024] and Five [2025].

Please note that it's currently on hold, as I literally don’t have the time to record any episodes at the moment, but it’ll return in late summer...
The New Abnormal
Leon Kreitzman 'The Resilient 24hr Society vs Fragmentation & Chaos'
Series One
In this episode of 'The New Abnormal' I interviewed the futurist and serious big-thinker Leon Kreitzman.
He's the author of 'The 24 Hour Society' which took an incredibly prescient look at the world today, when it was published back in the 1990's.
Leon also co-wrote the superb 'Rhythms of Life' and 'Seasons of Life' with Professor Russell Foster. His particular area of specialisation is in the relationship between biological and social factors in determining human behaviour, including consumer activity.
In this podcast, we discuss his views across a wide range of areas and issues inc Huxley, Orwell, Ballard, social stratification, receptiveness to surveillance, decentralised Government, and various emerging dystopias.
