• HELLO FUTURE: Spies in Space — The New Great Game
    Nov 27 2025

    Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Anthony Vinci — author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of espionage and the Battle to Save America — for a mind-bending look at the future of espionage beyond Earth. From the British Empire’s Great Game to the new space race, exploration and intelligence have always gone hand in hand. Vinci explains how the world’s oldest profession — spying — is evolving into a multi-planetary mission. Satellites now map and monitor the globe in real time; private companies launch fleets of micro-sensors; and entire intelligence budgets are shifting from sea level to low-Earth orbit. But as SpaceX builds spy constellations, China lands probes on the far side of the Moon, and the U.S. Space Force becomes America’s newest intelligence agency, one question looms: who will control the high ground of the heavens? From lunar reconnaissance to asteroid mining, Vinci argues that the next front line of intelligence won’t be on Earth — it’ll be above it. Because wherever humanity goes, spies follow. The truth is out there. Literally.

From augmented reality dressing rooms to drone deliveries and digital twins of your favorite malls, we explore how technology is transforming what we buy—and how we feel when we buy it.

    But here’s the twist: as the deals get smarter and the sales get faster, are we still the ones doing the choosing? Or is the future of shopping choosing us?

  • HELLO FUTURE: Turkey at Mach 5
    Nov 25 2025

    This Thanksgiving, while millions of Americans pack airports, HELLO FUTURE looks at how we’ll travel in the skies of tomorrow. Kevin Cirilli sits down with Dr. Kurt Barnhart, executive director of Kansas State’s Applied Aviation Research Center and one of the nation’s leading experts on aerospace systems, to talk about the next era of air travel — hypersonic and supersonic flight. From planes that could cross the Atlantic in under two hours to engines designed to slice through the stratosphere at five times the speed of sound, Kevin and Dr. Barnhart explore how the race for faster, cleaner, and more efficient travel could change everything from family holidays to global trade. Why it matters: hypersonic flight isn’t just for the military — it could one day redefine what it means to “fly home for the holidays.”

  • HELLO FUTURE: The Power That Built America — Reimagining Energy for What’s Next
    Nov 24 2025

    Kevin Cirilli explores with energy expert Melissa Landry how energy has powered every chapter of America’s story — from fueling victory in World War II to lighting the digital age — and what comes next as technology reshapes how we create, store, and share power. This isn’t politics — it’s progress. Kevin looks back at how U.S. innovation built entire industries around energy: the refineries and rigs that forged modern cities, the grids that connected communities, and the scientists who turned crude oil into chemistry, and chemistry into spaceflight. Now, as AI, fusion, and renewables transform how we think about power, Kevin asks: what does the next American energy revolution look like? From microgrids and synthetic fuels to space-based solar and quantum batteries, this is the story of how energy keeps rebuilding America — again and again. Because the future runs on what we choose to power it with.

  • 🚗 HELLO FUTURE: The Great Thanksgiving Drive… Without the Driving
    Nov 20 2025

    Ah, Thanksgiving. That magical time when millions of Americans pack into cars, crawl down the interstate, and ask, “Are we there yet?” every five minutes. But what if, in the near future, the answer is: “Don’t worry—the car’s got this.” 🦃✨

    In this episode, we hit the road (hands-free) to explore how self-driving cars, electric vehicles, and AI copilots are transforming one of America’s most chaotic holidays. Picture this: your car maps the fastest route, avoids traffic before it happens, and even keeps the pumpkin pie perfectly balanced in the backseat.

    From sensors that can “see” through snowstorms to EVs that recharge faster than your family finishes the mashed potatoes, we’ll explore how the future of mobility is rewriting the Thanksgiving travel story. But here’s the question—when your car does all the driving, what do you do with all that extra time?

    Join us as we imagine a world where the road home is smarter, smoother, and maybe even a little more peaceful.

    Because in the future, getting stuck in traffic might just be… optional. 🚘🦃💨
