About THE MONTAGE Podcast: talking about tomorrow's tech today

THE MONTAGE is the companion podcast to the online magazine MONTAG.WTF – about how weird future tech will change the way we live, and where technology means unusual ideas, not shiny new objects. Launched by getGrover.com in March 2017, MONTAG is a magazine that explores where new technology is taking us as a society. If technology is shifting at an unprecedented rate, what does that change mean on a human level? MONATG is by Grover, where you can rent the latest tech products at a fraction of the cost of owning them - getgrover.com Music on the MONTAGE is from Jukedeck - create your own at jukedeck.com.

Episode 15 - who said it - @Dril or @Pontifex?

If it turns out that music is really good for your health, could your healthcare plan pay for your Spotify subscription? It's actually more plausible than you might think: a series of scientific tests have shown that certain kinds of music can reduce the sensation of physical pain or help prevent addiction. Episode 15 of the MONTAGE, is not only about how music soothes the the savage beast, but how Twitter - yes, Twitter - has revolutionised how we experience literature - yes, literature - and not just by making it really, really short. Plus, Kathryn is in her element as she blurs the lines between the literary thoughts of His Holiness Pope Francis, AKA @pontifex, The Cool Pope and His Royal Genious @dril, doyen of Weird Twitter.

Episode 14: A Ray Kurzweil 2019 Weird Predictions Special

Welcome to A Very Special Episode of THE MONTAGE Podcast: a 2019 predictions special. We compare the predictions for 2019 made by tech sayer of sooths Ray Kurzweil and check whether his grand proclamations are at all close to reality. Kathryn wrote two Extremely Insightful articles on this very subject, and we decided that because Ray had made just so many damn predictions, we should dedicate a whole podcast to his suggestions, taken from two of his key books, The Age Of Intelligent Machines (1990) and The Age of Spiritual Machines (1999). So this podcast is all you need to figure out what's going to happen in the next 12 months (and beyond - Ray's not correct all the time), so gird your loins for a shortly-arriving world of exoskeletons, aggressive neo-Luddites, 3D-printed human skin and robot butlers. Oh, and Kathryn also fondly imagines a future where she has a giant flap of real human skin to test her make-up on. It's all in Episode 14! Kathryn's articles: Parts One: https://www.montag.wtf/2019-predictions/ and Two: https://www.montag.wtf/2019-predictions-part-2/ ------------- Exclusive MONTAGE Grover discount: Visit getgrover.com, select your tech and use the code MONTAG10 for a 10% discount! ------------- Get your really really really beautiful print edition here: https://montag.bigcartel.com

Episode 13: Laughing at AI's best attempts to be human, and why is no-one playing the Eigenharp?

Enjoy laughing at Artificial Intelligence's attempts at creating art while you can, because as soon as AI gains sentience, there'll be no more disresepect allowed. And thus it was so: Joe, Kathryn and Thom all laughed heartily in this podcast at silly things AI has done as well as mocked music it's made - plus they investigated the brand new musical instruments that seemingly no pop stars want to play. In this episode:• Fun With Neural Networks! Janelle Shane is the reigning queen of making funny, silly, and downright bizarre texts with neural networks - Kathryn investigates.• New Musical Excess: why musicians are ignoring the newest instruments (and what they'll play next) We’re in an age of constant technical innovation - so where are all the new musical instruments?• PLUS: Kwiz Kween kathryn is hitting her stride once more and her new kwiz kompromises on nothing short of khaos in… the Mystery Montage. ------------- Exclusive MONTAGE Grover discount: Visit getgrover.com, select your tech and use the code MONTAG10 for a 10% discount! ------------- All this stuff was initially discussed in MONTAG.WTF's all-new "CODING CREATIVITY" magazine - get your really really really beautiful print edition here: https://montag.bigcartel.com ------------- MONTAG links mentioned in this show: Fun With Neural Networks: https://www.montag.wtf/fun-with-neural-networks/ New Musical Excess: why musicians are ignoring the newest instruments (and what they'll play next): https://www.montag.wtf/new-musical-excess-why-musicians-are-ignoring-the-newest-instruments-and-what-theyll-play-next/

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
