About the Show

The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed
William Gibson.

The Living In The Future podcast explores the world we may find ourselves living in with the people who are creating the things shaping the future, be it in science & technology, culture or economics. In open and curious conversation, we explore what future shapers are doing, why they’re doing it, and what it might mean. Living In The Future is hosted by entrepreneur and technologist Niall Murphy.
