Flash Forward

BODIES: Switcheroo

Today we travel to a future where we can swap bodies with one another. Would you trade places with someone? Do you own your body? Guests:<a href="http://calvingimpelevich.com/bio/">Calvin Gimpelevich</a> — writer, author of “Rent, Don’t Sell”<a href="https://gws.arizona.edu/user/sav-schlauderaff">Sav Schlauderaff</a> — PhD student, University of Arizona, co-founder <a href="https://www.queerfutures.com/">Queer Futures Collective</a><a href="https://feministstudies.ucsc.edu/about/phd-directory.php?uid=kpuig">Krizia Puig</a> — PhD student, UC Santa Cruz, co-founder <a href="https://www.queerfutures.com/">Queer Futures Collective</a><a href="https://lsa.umich.edu/psych/people/faculty/gelman.html">Susan Gelman</a> — professor of psychology, University of MichiganActors:Maria -- <a href="https://cararosedefabio-portfolio.squarespace.com/">Cara Rose de Fabio</a> Gaby -- <a href="http://degrey.studio/">Eler de Grey</a>New Marquis -- <a href="http://www.xandraibarra.com/">Xandra Ibarra</a> John -- <a href="https://www.keyvoicevo.com/">Keith Houston</a> (also check out his <a href="http://rogerniner.com/blog/">karaoke nights in San Francisco</a>) <a href="https://www.flashforwardpod.com/2019/06/04/bodies-switcheroo/">→ → → Further reading on today’s episode can be found here ← ← ←</a>Flash Forward is produced by me,<a href="http://roseveleth.com/"> Rose Eveleth</a>.

Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might really be like. The future is going to be weird, so let's get ready for it together.
