Without, the award-winning podcast hosted by international bestselling author Omar El Akkad, is back for season three.
The series takes listeners on an exploration of the things we stand to lose, the things we should be losing, and what might still be saved. Topics will include fossil fuels, meat, humans, guns, billionaires, advertising, affordable housing, and more.
Each episode is a thought experiment – what would the world look like if something we’ve become used to were no longer around?
In some cases, it’s something we’re already losing – species, natural phenomena, places. In other cases, it’s things we probably should learn to live without – fossil fuels, nuclear weapons. In other cases, it’s purely a speculative thesis – what would happen if the internet totally collapsed tomorrow?
The first episode looks at a world without fossil fuels with Omar sitting down with Adam McKay to discuss the state of our environment and society.
Future episodes include planetary futurist Alex Steffen discussing what the world could look like without non-renewable resources, Alicia Kennedy talking about meat, David Farrier imagines the future and what it would look like without humans and David Yamane asking if a world without firearms is conceivable.
Without is a Sony Music Entertainment and Hyperobject Industries production available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Stitcher.
