If reading this paragraph made you go "wow I'd love to support a podcast that tries to answer those questions!" you're in the right place!Why become a Patron? By supporting the show, you're keeping a 100% indie show alive. Flash Forward has been a completely independent podcast for over four years. That means I don't have a network supporting me, selling my ads, or promoting me. On top of that, Flash Forward is (currently) a solo operation. I research, interview, cut, voice, produce and edit everything all by myself. While I do sell ads, the ad-sales market for podcasts can be volatile. ( You can hear more about the behind the scenes of Flash Forward finances on this episode. The show is incredibly rewarding to make — and I truly believe it's important, too. I'm trying to shift the conversation about the future away from the same topics and the same experts you hear over and over. But I can only do this work with your support.The future is going to be weirder, more complicated, and more surprising than we can even imagine. Let's get ready for it together.
