O tym podcaście
Sci-fi author, tech leader, and IO psychologist Stephen Salaka explores the questions that keep people up at night. Philosophy, consciousness, politics, the occult, cosmic horror, technology, and the spaces where they all collide. Some episodes are conversations. Some are stories. All of them start from the same place: honest curiosity about things we might never fully understand.
