Into The Impossible
Into The Impossible
Brian Keating, Stuart Volkow
A podcast about how we imagine, and how what we imagine shapes what we do. Each month, we'll bring you into a conversation between visionaries from the worlds of arts, sciences, humanities, engineering, and medicine on the nature of the imagination and how, through speculative culture, we collaborate to create the future, with interviews by Clarke Center leaders Brian Keating, Erik Viirre, Patrick Coleman and Stuart Volkow.
