Bellwether

A podcast of speculative journalism—stories of the world as it is through the lens of what it might become. From Sam Greenspan. Learn more: http://bellwether.show

For the first time in human history, a self-driving car killed a pedestrian. But who’s really at fault? If the person behind the wheel takes the fall, suddenly we are living in a world where one can go to jail for the crimes of an AI. This non-fiction story is told within the frame of a sci-fi radio serial, in which we meet Cass and Icarus, who discover this reportage in the future.  This is episode 01 of BELLWETHER, a podcast of speculative journalism from Sam Greenspan.

"I see Bellwether as this structure that allows us to deal with what would otherwise be dreams or nightmares or uncertainties that feel like a mess. It's not a mess—if you have the right equation." NPR's Robert Smith on why he's backing Bellwether's Kickstarter campaign, and why you should, too. Even a donation of $1 can help us reach our 1,000 backer goal!
