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 take that question to the people building the answer: founders, scientists, artists, and deep thinkers working across AI, healthcare, education, and geopolitics. The conversations run deep and specific, testing optimism against hard questions rather than trading hot takes. And between guest episodes, Reid riffs on the AI news that matters and what to make of it.
