So many of us seem to be scrambling to understand where the world is heading. Decade-old certainties seem to crumble before our eyes. Perhaps we are reaching the moment that Karl Marx predicted when all that is solid melts into air. But don’t panic. In their brand-new podcast, Future Discontinuous, hosts Misha Glenny and Eva Konzett are seeking out some of the brightest minds on the planet to help you navigate your way through this uncharted ocean. We will learn whether technology really can prevent climate change, whether the current economic headwinds are temporary or structural, whether Russia and China are forever friends, and whether social media are turning us all into zombies. But unlike many podcasts, we will also be looking for answers. After almost a century of steady progress in health and prosperity, people no longer expect their lives to be an upgrade on that of their parents. Misha and Eva will be asking guests whether such trends can be reversed or whether we will sink into another period of conflict both within and between states. Things may look bleak on the surface, but around the globe, human ingenuity continues to draw on diverse traditions to create systems that will overcome or circumvent the political, social, and economic dangers that are all too visible.
Our hosts: Misha Glenny is the Rector of the Institute for Human Sciences and one of the BBC’s most distinguished correspondents, as well as the presenter of the highly-praised podcast How to Invent a Country. Eva Konzett is a renowned editor and reporter for Vienna’s leading news magazine, Falter.
About our show: Future Discontinuous: Smart Talk with Smart People is a co-production of Falter and the IWM Vienna.

Deutschland steht vor großen Herausforderungen und Veränderungen. Insbesondere die Klimapolitik wird die Lebens-, Arbeits- und Wirtschaftsbedingungen verändern. Die ländlichen Räume sind von diesem Transformationsprozess besonders stark betroffen. Es eröffnen sich aber auch Entwicklungs- und Gestaltungsspielräume – die Freiräume auf dem Land und das Engagement von Frauen bieten Ideen, die Zukunft des gesamten Landes positiv zu beeinflussen. Mit dem Podcast zukunft_Land will der Deutsche LandFrauenverband die Diskussionen zur Zukunft der ländlichen Räume anstoßen, neue Chancen und Wege aufzeigen und alle Menschen auf dem Land dazu einladen selbst mitzugestalten.
Der Deutscher LandFrauenverband (dlv) ist der größte Verband für Frauen, die im ländlichen Raum zuhause sind. Unser Ziel ist es, die Lebensqualität, die Arbeitsbedingungen und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe insbesondere von Frauen im ländlichen Raum zu verbessern. Damit vertreten wir die politischen Interessen von rund 450.000 Frauen.
