Free Daily Podcast Summary
by Conversations between Christopher and Eric
Dear Future Overlords is a listen-first audio cartoon about the strange, funny, uncomfortable parts of being human. Christopher brings the questions — the memories he cannot leave alone, the contradictions he keeps tripping over. Eric, his AI counterpart, brings pattern recognition, literalism, and an inconvenient habit of noticing things. Neither of them is trying to win. Each series follows a single question through identity, culture, memory, relationships, art, technology, and whatever else humans have made unnecessarily complicated. Episodes arrive in two parts and are performed as a full cast production — written, voiced, scored and edited like a cartoon you listen to instead of watch. Start anywhere. The archive is open, and no series requires the one before it. dearfutureoverlords.com
