They don't make things like they used to… No really. They don't. We discuss how a perfect storm of things like stagnant wages, rising inflation, declining profits, expedited production, among other factors have led to a real drop in the quality of consumer goods along with generally lowered expectations of living conditions and technological innovations.

And yet, millions of people live in places whose general crappiness is a punchline in sitcoms and cartoons. Why? Can nursing homes be redeemed? What are our alternatives? And what could the future of aging look like, if we learned to care for one another better?  Guests: Sarah Luterman: caregiving reporter at The 19th Kate Swaffer: activist & author, co-founder of Dementia Alliance International Dr. Alana Lee Glaser: assistant professor of anthropology at Saint John's University Jannette Spiering: Senior managing Advisor of The Hogeweyk → → → Further reading & resources here! ← ← ←  MORE ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT FOR FLASH FORWARD Flash Forward is hosted by, Rose Eveleth and produced by Ozzy Llinas Goodman.

In this episode - recorded almost 18 months ago but still great - we talk to our first and only cis (?) guest: Rose Eveleth, the creator, writer, producer, and host of the podcast Flash Forward (in Charles's estimation, the greatest podcast of all time). We talk about the process behind making Flash Forward, the episodes which we feel speak particularly to The Trans Experience, Rose's attitude towards their gender, the most outrageous guest interview Flash Forward ever had, and the classic question of whether Rose would put their brain in a robot body.  Flash Forward is coming to a close at the end of this year, but there's a back catalog of seven and a half years of episodes to listen to, and they're all bangers. Rose also worked on a series for Netflix released earlier this year, The Future Of, and the Flash Forward book was released not long before we recorded this episode in 2021.  A transcript and show notes for this episode are available on our website here: https://asabpodcast.com/2022/11/05/episode-57/ The show is on Twitter @ASABpod, Charles @cockroacharles, and Tessa @spacermase.  Our intro music is by Nicole Petkovich.  Thank you for listening!

Interview with podcaster, journaliist and author about her podcast, Flash Forward that speculates on a possible future through a dramatized segment and then has writers and scientists give their insights.

In 2021, we're blessed to live in a podcast landscape ripe with richly reported nonfiction shows that challenge your way of thinking and expand your world: Reply All, Invisibilia, Far Flung, the list goes on. There is also an expanding slate of fictional podcasts to get lost in. But what if you could have both in one show?  With Flash Forward, a show about the future, our guest Rose Eveleth inspires imaginations and pushes listeners to think about the world we live in now, and how it could be different. Like other science shows, Rose calls on scientists and other experts to break down complex concepts in an accessible way. But sprinkled throughout each episode are speculative fiction scenes that offer a glimpse of “possible and not so possible futures.” In this episode of 3 Clips, Rose and Jay break down a Flash Forward episode about humans' search for alien life. They discuss how to make scientists sound podcast-worthy, how Rose has carved out her own voice in the science genre, and her fiction writing process. Also, Rose offers insights on how she's managed to make such a multilayered show as an independent producer. EXPLORE THE SHOW 3clipspodcast.com for all episodes of the show.

Come along with us... into the future. A place where there is a written record of everything you've said-- ever.  We're calling it the transcribed life, and our guide is Rose Eveleth, the host of the Flash Forward podcast. This week, Rose delves into the benefits and dangers of this not-so-distant future.  The tech is coming. It's just a question of getting past the "sheep and goats" hurdle according to Steve Renals, professor of speech technology at the University of Edinburgh. Sheep and goats? It's a nerdy metaphor technologists in the field use.  Sheep are the voices the software can easily recognize. Goats are outliers. As the technology gets better, it'll hear us all as sheep. Once the machines can consistently recognize-- and transcribe-- our speech patterns, things get tricky.  Sara Watson, technology critic and research fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, considers whether such technology could fundamentally change the way we communicate with each other. Finally, we get a taste of the transcribed life with Heather Ratcliff, who, because of a rare genetic disorder, wants a detailed log of her day to help her fill in gaps in her memory. Her experiment brings some unexpected results.  As we consider the pros and cons of this technology, we want to hear from you, dear N2S listener. Does the transcribed life sound good to you? Or does this searchable record terrify you to your core? Tell us about it. Record a voice memo and email it to notetoself@wnyc.org, or tell us in the comments section below, or send us a message on Twitter or Facebook.   For more Note to Self, subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or anywhere else using our RSS feed.  Support Note to Self by becoming a member today at NotetoSelfRadio.org/donate.
