About CRAFTED.
* Winner of the 2026 Webby Award for Best Technology Podcast * Future Around & Find Out helps builders think clearly about AI and emerging technologies, grapple with the implications, and decide what to build next. Independent technologist and former NPR journalist Dan Blumberg speaks with founders, makers, and you to celebrate breakthroughs, call BS on the hype, explore how things might go sideways — and how we can steer the future in the right direction. On Tuesdays, we interview the builders changing how we work, live, and play. On FAFO Fridays, futurist Kwaku Aning joins Dan for a playful recap of the week in tech, including the amazing, the scary, and the strange. You’ll also hear about innovations that too often get overshadowed by AI, including in deep tech, biotech, fintech, quantum computing, robotics, blockchain, and more. Across it all, you’ll hear sharp takes on what comes next and what builders need to know now. So let’s Future Around & Find Out together! https://www.FutureAround.com

And AI done in the right way can be agentic and behind the scenes and be this kind of laid intelligence that sits underneath everything, but doesn't need to shout for your attention. I think as humans, we're all starting to understand, okay, We've had a lot of shouting for our attention now. Actually, what I need is less of that. I want to quiet my life down and just focus on the things that are really important to me. And I think some of the technology that we were playing around with in the Dune films kind of beds into that, which is it looks and appears analog in first instance, but actually sitting behind that is kind of deep, deep intelligent tech behind it all that kind of instinctually knows what you're trying to achieve.
