Impacts of Election on Silicon Valley, Government and Business Dynamics, Col Terry weighs in on Trump, Mysterious Booms over Monterey Bay happens during our Broadcast with lots of "Earwitness" reports

Listen Now to Dr. Future Show 11.15.2016

A very lively show today, discussing the election with some astute callers, including our local politcal pundit Col. Terry.  Then, at about 45 minutes into the show, a mysterious boom hit our local bioregion, the Monterey Bay. For the rest of the show, no more politics as we fielded call after call about the strange sound and vibrations in our neighborhood.  What actually happened?  We explore the possibility of an earthquake, a sonic boom, a thunder storm, an industrial accident.. No one knows as of this writing..

When the incident occured, we were planning to talk about the whole ‘fake news’ controversy affecting social media.  And what the universe gave us was an opportunity to find out what actually happened by talking first hand to “ear-witnesses.”  A very intriquing show.  Enjoy!

What a crazy election cycle we’ve all had to endure!  Now that it is behind us, how might we do it better in the future? To discuss the possibilities, our guest is Dr. Bruce Damer, who floats the idea of a modern day Constitutional Convention, for updating our country’s ‘souce code’ to modern times. And given this was Election day, we fielded some rather poignant phone calls for this discussion, including some great comments from Mrs. Future. Enjoy!

Future News - Report on Automation and Jobs, In Remembrance of our Almost Famous John Monahan, Richard Karst of the Helluva Party, Hacking Lightbulbs

Listen Now to Future News 11.08.2016

We hear about how our country’s jobs are going overseas, but a recent report shows that the automation of U.S. factories is a much bigger factor than foreign trade in the loss of factory jobs.A study at Ball State University’s Center for Business and Economic Research last year found that trade accounted for just 13 percent of America’s lost factory jobs. The vast majority of the lost jobs, 88 percent, were taken by robots and other homegrown factors that reduce a facotries’ need for human labor!

This week we honor artist John Monahan, a regular co-host with us for many months in 2014 and 2015.  He recently passed, and we share a few stories of John’s, in his own words. Norma Jean, our call screener and partner of Johns, joins us for this segment with a more personal honoring of John.

We also have Richard Karst join us to comically discuss his “Helluva Party,” a Santa Cruz home grown  political party whose campaign slogan is “Whatever.” He has bumper stickers and a party song, so hey, it’s election day! Enjoy..
