Adventure Future - The Podcast
My Podcast "Das Abenteuer Zukunft" (Adventure Future) started February 2006 on the Edutainment-Portal "Abenteuer Leben". Since this time of the pioneers it quickly grew to be the leading German-language Podcast for topics regarding the future.

In 71 shows until today topics presented range from the future of food, materialism, work and sex to methods from futures studies like Delphi, S-Curves or Kontratieff-cycles. Unconventional approaches for work, doping, aging or happiness were promoted and new terms coined like patchworklive and cyberdropout. All based on the idea that we invent our future and that everyone can use the appropriate tools from future studies.
The ten most recent shows are :
