e30/ Futurish podcast is DEAD, long live TeamFuturish.com
Join us for our last Futurish podcast episode (for now) as we have decided to try a new format in order to be even closer to our community. Besides the announcement of our new format, we talk about how the movie industry is facing new challenges and how it has changed over the last decade. Then we share some mindful thoughts about our journey so far, what we have learned and why we think we don’t know ourselves at all.
Make sure to head to www.teamfuturish.com to continue getting the finest Futurish stories!
As always, relax and tune in for some Futurish time with Pete and Gerhard.
e29/ Can you be sexually attracted to objects?
Get the latest Covid lockdown developments and learn from Pete all about RNA and DNA and why this is important to better understand the latest vaccine developments.
We also look into Sony’s reveal event of the PS5. What do we, experts in design, have to say about this very bold and futuristic design? It may or may not have something to do with objectophilia... Yes, you read correctly. This episode is a weird one, after all!
Lastly, we end this episode with some nerdy discussions on the future of gaming and why Pete will never see Half Life 3 come to life.

e28/ How to Make Meetings Less Terrible
With a slight delay due to very important reasons (fighting off an evil alien race and solving some quantum physics problems), we managed to record our latest episode. In this episode, we talk about what we have been up to lately, why meetings suck and how to make them less terrible, and why remote work has probably come to stay. Finally, you will witness something that we thought was once impossible; Pete doesn’t love Elon Musk anymore, and he has some good reasons to do so.

e27/ Guilty Pleasures In Times Like These

Lastly, we end this episode with some 100% organic and vegan nerd talk about Animal Crossing: New Horizons. What a game.

e26/ How to Deal with Coronavirus Anxiety
Crazy times we're living in, aren’t we? In this episode, Pete and Gerhard come together to exchange their experience of the coronavirus pandemic as two normal citizens in this world. We look into how Australia and Finland are dealing with the crisis and how we try to make the best out of it. What opportunities can future employers do to change their working culture to support more remote work, and how might we get rid of traditional brick and mortar solutions such as physical supermarkets? We also discuss how to use this time to reflect, reground and come out stronger at the end of this crisis - both as individuals and as a human race.

e25/ Why your ego is your biggest enemy for growth
Join us for this very insightful episode where Pete and Gerhard share the three things they have learned in the previous decade, and the three things they would like to explore, or focus on in this decade. We look into why your ego is your biggest enemy for personal growth, how it is important to never stop being curious and asking questions, and why we should see life as a series of micro lives instead of one big life. Also, Pete and Gerhard discuss their choice of whiskey for this episode. Very important.

e24/ Are you living in a parallel reality?
Join us for our very first episode of the DECADE! We kick-off this year with some juicy and deep topics. Firstly, we look what the new next-generation consoles will have under the hood and why WE LOVE IT. Then we go beyond time and space, and look into parallel realities, dark matter and why we should see life as a series of micro lives instead of one big life. Also, Gerhard makes an exception and drinks a glass of whiskey on a Sunday morning. You do not want to miss this rare and monumental moment.
