Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

DNA science. Artificial intelligence. Smartphones and 3D printers. Science and technology have transformed the world we live in. But how did we get here? It wasn’t by accident.

Hosted by bestselling author Steven Johnson (“How We Got To Now”), American Innovations uses immersive scenes to tell the stories of the scientists, engineers, and ordinary people behind the great ...

We humans could have a bright future ahead of us that lasts billions of years. But we have to survive the next 200 years first. Join Josh Clark of Stuff You Should Know for a 10-episode deep dive that explores the future of humanity and finds dangers we have never encountered before lurking just ahead. And if we humans are alone in the universe, if we don't survive intelligent life dies out with us too.

Whether we wear a lab coat or haven't seen a test tube since grade school, science is shaping all of our lives. And that means we all have science stories to tell. Every year, we host dozens of live shows all over the country, featuring all kinds of storytellers - researchers, doctors, and engineers of course, but also patients, poets, comedians, cops, and more. Some of our stories are heartbreaking, others are hilarious, but they're all true and all very personal. Welcome to The Story Collider!

Microplastics; A hidden disaster

A lot of the information in today's episode comes from Waste MINZ fantastic webinar on microplastics delivered by Dr Grant Northcott and Dr Olga Pantos. Check out the webinar here.
This episode, we're discussing microplastics - What they are, why they're bad and what can we do about them.
Plastic does not biodegrade, it breaks down, fragmented by wind, waves and sunlight into ever-smaller pieces. Microplastic is plastic fragments less than 5 mm in size. They do a number of nasty things, including absorbing pesticides, hydrocarbons and heavy metals. They also leach bad stuff into the environment. On average, we consume a credit card a week in microplastics. Scientists have recently found out that we have massively underestimated the amount of microplastic in the environment, sadly it's found everywhere on earth.
Solutions; Use less plastic. Use less everything. Go clear, if you must use plastic. Get involved with collective action by signing your name at YourPlasticDiet.org
