when the grid falls

when the grid falls is a podcast focused on how our current understanding of the world is breaking down and changing. That sounds vague, but it's the starting point for everything this show hopes to achieve. Our investigation will involve essays and interviews primarily looking at design and technology, as these fields regularly disrupt how we understand the world.

The title was chosen to reflect the investigation I hope to pursue: find out what is left after our current model of understanding (our "grid") breaks down ("falls".) After a stint trying to set up the podcast on Tumblr, it became apparent that Blogger would be the better platform. I will be setting up a tumblr to promote and link podcast discussion and content.
