About the Hello, Futures! podcast

Hello, Futures! is a playful podcast for the curious, the imaginative, and anyone ready to explore what might lie ahead.

Hosted by Suzanne Whitby—futurist, facilitator, communicator, and storyteller—the Hello, Futures! podcast invites a group of guests from all walks of life to imagine a possible future and step into it as a character. Through lightly guided storytelling games, they explore what it might feel like to live in that world, and what it reveals about the choices we face today.

The purpose of the podcast is to find ways to imagine and use possible futures to develop resilience and preparedness for what might be, and ponder whether and how we might shape futures from right here in the present. This skill, or superpower, is called Futures Literacy.

In uncertain times, futures literacy—our ability to think with and through the future—isn’t just helpful. It might be the superpower we didn’t know we needed.

Consider what we do a form of “narrative medicine” for the ailments of our times…

Whether you’re joining as a guest or tuning in as a listener, Hello, Futures! offers a space to stretch your thinking, challenge assumptions, and have a little fun along the way.
