About this podcast
A podcast about how creative ideas become real.
Join Wayne Lim for conversations with artists, designers, filmmakers, technologists and other creative thinkers who have taken something from imagination into the world. Each episode explores the turning points, decisions, structures and tensions involved in building meaningful creative work that can stand up in reality.
Future History sits at the intersection of creativity, culture, philosophy and technology, examining not just inspiration but how ideas evolve, endure and become part of the world around us.
