It was our pleasure to interview T. Mike Walker and mathematician Dr. Ralph Abraham for this show, pioneers of the 1960’s counterculture, and editors of the new book, Hip Santa Cruz 6.  The latest in a series of magical tales from the early days of hip culture in Santa Cruz, this volume explores the start of Rock & Roll, the first organic gardens, Huey P. Newton’s USCS Dissertation, and ‘mind-blowing truths.’ For our show, Ralph relates a telepathic story of swimming with John Lilly’s dolphins, and what they had to say to him. And if you want to see the folks who wrote all these stories, be sure to check out live readings from the latest volume at the Santa Cruz Art League, 526 Broadway, Santa Cruz, CA Saturday afternoon, April 8, 2023, 3-5 p.m.

Lots to share this week, from Space News to AR glasses and bio-printed Wagyu beef, enjoy!

Listen Now to Future News 6.21.2022

Another amazing friend has passed, a pioneer in tech and the arts, JJ Webb. We speak of him today and some of his accomplishments in space tech and online poetry.  In space news, the ISS dodged some space junk, NASA’s giant rocket, known as SLS (Space Launch System), had a mostly successful wet test with fuel on the launchpad, and Space X has to address more environmental concerns as it makes its way to its next launch. And closer to home, Zuck himself outlines the features of three new experimental VR headsets, and we look at a new small whirlpool hydro-power generator, small enough to work on neighborhood rivers and canals, powering up to 60 homes! And one of our phone calls this week asked Dr. Future what his vision was for Santa Cruz in 5-10 years.  Enjoy!

A big day for the Starhopper Starship, where it successfully did it’s prescribed hop! But if the quantum teleportation scientists have their way, we may not need starships. They have successfully teleported a qutrit, the most complex form of information to be ‘sent.’ But like the advancement of fusion power, it’ll take some time before we’ll be teleporting people around the universe..unless we get some help..Enter the Amazing Sara Melchizedek, a trance channeler in contact with angelic beings who seem to have no problem with cruising the universe. Their earth mission, however, seems to be focused on getting us all to find our soul families and get on with living a more heaven on earth lifestyle, something we can get in to! Enjoy..
