The Machine President Sits Alone - Ep. 4

This time we are blessed with two musicians whom we are both fans of. Jonathan Coulton, known best for his Code Monkey and zombie songs, and MC Frontalot, known best, apparently for his back trouble int he nerdcore documentary but really for his amazing nerd rap prowess. We discuss their visions of synthetic life, machine-led government, nanobots and the amazing growth of our brains. Or will we have brains in the future?  Listen in!

I love this show. It makes me excited about what the future holds. When I talk about the future with my friends it's a lot of fun, and listening to this podcast is just as fun.
