Here are some of my favorite images from our latest episode all about "what's really inside the deep Earth?"!

I'm so proud of it and proud to work with our small but mighty team: animator Justin Poore, editor Logen Kershaw, and science producer Nicole Menkart. This episode is a particular favorite of ours and we hope you love it as much as we loved making it ❤️🌎

4 MILLION!! This is a huge milestone for us. Thank you. If you told me when we started that 4M people would want an optimistic show about the future, I’m not sure I would have believed you. But I wanted it to be true and you made it so! I’m so grateful.

I want to say a special thank you to the HUGE* team: Justin, Logen, and Nicole. They believed in this show early and make every day working on it a total joy. We deeply love telling these stories and will continue to sweat every detail.

This is just the beginning…

I've been thinking about making some HUGE* merch, just for our community. What would you use most? Some ideas of what I've made as gifts for the team here, but leave comments if you have other ideas!

I interviewed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for the first episode of Huge Conversations. There are not many people with more power over our future. Right now, Mark Zuckerberg and his team are imagining the future billions of people might live in, soon, and building towards it. So, in this conversation, my goal was to figure out what that future looks like. To paint a picture of the future Mark Zuckerberg is trying to build, so that you can decide for yourself what you think of it. Full conversation out now! https://youtu.be/oX7OduG1YmI

Introducing… Huge Conversations!

If you want to know what the people building the future are imagining it will look like, this is the show for you: https://youtu.be/JbKzSDfDdns?si=NpafH...

Over the past two years on Huge If True, we’ve explored all kinds of new ideas and technologies that could change the world we live in. We believe that by envisioning better futures, we make them more likely to come true.

Along the way, I’ve gotten to talk to some of the most important people whose visions of the future billions of people might really end up living in. And every time I always think: “Man, I wish I could have shared that whole conversation with… you!” So, that’s what we’re going to do.

Huge Conversations is long form, in-depth, optimistic conversations with the people whose ideas are shaping the future. (Posted rarely, on this channel, in addition to the more crafted explainers we make already!)

My goal is a bit different from some interviews I watch today. A lot of media asks: How have they failed in the past? Or, what if they fail in the future? I’m interested in the opposite question: What if they succeed? It might solve important problems! And sometimes, the biggest challenges we face come from people succeeding rather than failing. A lot of our problems are the product of our progress. So I’m interested in asking people at the cutting edge to paint a picture of the future they’re trying to build, and grapple with both the promise and the perils of it actually coming true.

I believe an optimistic lens is required to really do that. It doesn’t mean I’ll agree with that picture, but I want to fully explore what they have in mind so that you can decide for yourself what you think of it - and whether that future is one you want to help work towards.

Subscribe to join us TOMORROW, because our first episode is going to be... huge.

If you want all the details behind the scenes of Huge If True, here they are! I sat down with two of my friends and favorite podcasters, Colin and Samir, to talk about the show... and video journalism, optimism, leaving a media company and starting a channel, and much more. There was so much to cover, we talked for over 2 hours! 😅

I had such a great time in this conversation and I think you'll enjoy it too. Watch here: https://youtu.be/a9sdUTsnFnE?si=CaQ-9...

Just wanted to say, the comments and response to the latest Huge If True episode have been really meaningful to me. This was the most personal episode yet and I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate your support and encouragement. Because if you, I and our team can make episodes that range from trying on a new space suit to sharing such a personal fertility journey - that are all Huge If True in their own way.

Thank you ❤️

My friends Joss Fong and Adam Cole launched a YouTube channel! It's called Howtown and it explores how we know the things we know. Their first episode tackles the question "how do they know dogs are colorblind?" and features yours truly - and my dog, Thor! 🐶
