Whatever Happened to the Future?

In the first episode of series two, we’ll be looking at what may well be the greatest, most crushing disappointment of all - the future. It's finally arrived and, well, it's not great is it?

Our future-shocked guests are psychologist David Myers, film critic Eddie Harrison, writer, podcaster and TV historian Tim Worthington, and actor Sprite Kirkwood.

Our theme tune was mixed by musician Dan Jackson.
