About this listen

 What if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Possible is an award-winning, weekly podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Hosts Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger explore what’s possible with forward-thinking leaders, deep thinkers, and ambitious builders across many fields, such as technology, art, education and healthcare. These conversations center on the ways technology—and, in particular, AI—is shaping the future. In episodes, AI tools such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Inflection’s Pi are at work, offering informational asides, prompting guests, or demoing what they can do. Lastly, between guest episodes, Aria interviews her co-host Reid on his latest takes on what’s possible if we use technology—and our collective effort—effectively.Reid Hoffman 2023

  • R.I.P. Computer Keyboard (1964 – 2025)

    R.I.P. Computer Keyboard (1964 – 2025)
    Dec 3 2025
    In this special live episode of Possible, Reid and Aria sit down with Wispr Flow founder and CEO Tanay Kothari to explore a post-keyboard future where voice becomes the primary way humans interact with computers. From building one of the world’s first voice assistants as a child to creating a product now used the world over (with, as of publish, 70% user retention after one year and daily users at over half of the Fortune 500), Tanay shares how Wispr Flow removes the cognitive friction of typing and restores natural communication to our digital world. The conversation touches on increasing accessibility to AI, emotional tone in digital communication, and why speaking to computers may ultimately be more human than typing ever was. And shortly into the conversation, Tanay puts his tech to the test in a live demo that pits a 110-words-per-minute typist against Wispr Flow in a dramatic battle of speed and accuracy. This episode showcases what is possible in a future where technology fades into the background and nudges people to become more present in the real world. A big thanks to Sean Mendy and the Westbound Equity Partners, and David Stiepleman and the Sixth Street Partners for hosting the conversation. And a shout to Isabella Sikaffy and the Florabella Studios team, Marshall Potter and the Push Record team, and Marcus Chua and the Wispr Flow team.

  • AI’s Influence On The Church, Cybersecurity, and Disney

    AI’s Influence On The Church, Cybersecurity, and Disney
    Nov 26 2025
    This week, Reid and Aria dive into three central AI stories that have been dominating the headlines: Pope Leo XIV issues a powerful call for moral discernment in an AI-driven world, Anthropic reveals that state-sponsored hackers used agentic AI to automate a sophisticated cyberattack, and Disney considers a radical shift as it weighs opening its IP vault to fan creators. Reid reflects on what it means when spiritual, civic, and technological institutions all step into the AI conversation and how the race between offensive and defensive AI will define the next era of security. Reid and Aria also break down what Disney's creative signals mean for IP ownership, storytelling, and the relationship between mega-studios and their audiences. The overarching question that runs through this episode: how does society stay anchored in human dignity as AI reshapes everything from faith to culture?

    Our AI blindspot: incentives over intentions
    Nov 19 2025
    Software is eating the world, but will it start eating us? On this episode of Possible, Aria Finger and Reid Hoffman sit down for an encore conversation with Aza Raskin that dives deep into how AI and engagement-driven tech are reshaping our lives, our democracies, and our sense of truth. From unpacking the present challenge around social media feeds to AI systems competing for our time, intimacy, and attention, no technology topic is out of bounds. Along the way, they also debate AI pause letters, why incentives always eat intentions, and how to design new institutional frameworks for a future where AI truly elevates human agency, compassion, and wisdom.
