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 re ...

How Neuroscience Can Help Us Fight Burnout in an Age of Outrage and Division
A compelling conversation with Dr. Gary Simonds, a neurosurgeon and burnout expert, to unpack the emotional toll of our outrage-saturated media environment. We explore how the relentless cycle of negative news, social media hype, and political bias can lead to burnout, emotional exhaustion, and even outrage fatigue. Dr. Simonds provides a unique perspective on how these stressors impact our mental health, drawing connections between personal struggles and the larger societal effects of engagement algorithms and media distortion.
Through a blend of real-world experience and practical advice, Dr. Simonds outlines strategies such as self-compassion, gratitude, and focusing on what we can control to combat feelings of nihilism and anger. He highlights how these tools have been instrumental in helping his surgical team navigate high-pressure situations and shows how we can apply them to reclaim balance in our daily lives. Whether you're feeling drained by political fights, social media extremes, or the distortion of news, this episode offers actionable insights to build resilience, reduce outrage, and foster a sense of optimism in a polarized world. Don't miss this thoughtful discussion about finding clarity and strength in the midst of overwhelming negativity.
