The covenant
The Future Wilds docuseries goes beyond short form content like a podcast. We ask that participants sit for three recording sessions. The first two sessions are instudio conversations focused on technology's impact on our society. The third recording session is at a location of the guest's choosing, where we can explore their origin story and the factors that have shaped their perspectives. An optional fourth session in front of a live audience maybe suggested.
The Future Wilds will only publish content that you have fully vetted and have approved.
