Singularity.FM
Nikola Danaylov
Singularity.FM was the first singularity podcast in the world. It is the place where we interview the future and technology meets ethics: an open conversation about the impact of exponential tech, accelerating change, and the choices we make. It helps us identify the full spectrum of unprecedented dangers and opportunities and give birth to our own ideas about the best way to create a better future, a better you.
Singularity.FM is a series of interviews with the best scientists, writers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, philosophers, and artists. We discuss the technological singularity, transhumanism, artificial intelligence, life extension, genetics, robotics, nanotech, synthetic biology, cryptocurrencies, and ethics: because technology is not enough!
Past guests of this singularity podcast include people such as Ray Kurzweil, Peter Diamandis, Noam Chomsky, Natasha Vita-More, Stuart Hameroff, Marvin Minsky, Aubrey de Grey, Max More, Michio Kaku, Vernor Vinge, Cory Doctorow, Charles Stross, and many, many others.

Karl Schroeder: The Singularity is an Old Idea. Keep Moving Forward!
Karl Schroeder is one of those fantastic science fiction authors and futurists who, despite his numerous and profound books, have not quite made it into the mainstream yet.

James Harvey: The Singularity is Just the Tip of the Iceberg
A couple of days ago, I interviewed Australian James Harvey. James is unique among my guests because he was the first interviewee whose willingness to take a chance on a brand-new podcast helped me kick off Singularity 1 on 1. However, this is not the only thing that makes him different; James is also “a […]
