About this listen

With our world speeding towards multiple disasters — ecological, political, and cultural — it can be difficult to make sense of the headlines, let alone see the faulty wiring beneath them. Reports from the Edge is a podcast series that digs into the unseen forces and distorted logics driving the collapse around us.

Hosted by Alex Foley, each episode features conversations with the thinkers, scientists, artists, scholars, and legal experts who work at the very edge of the impending collapse on topics such as our buckling financial systems, ecosystems at a tipping point, algorithmic control, and our diminishing political futures.

What can we understand of a world in free fall, and what will emerge from the wreckage?
