FBL72: Steven Parton - A Short Message From the Host

Author: Singularity University September 19, 2022 Duration: 2:09

Hi everyone, 

Just wanted to make a quick episode to let you know we're taking a short break for these next few weeks, but we'll be back with a steady stream of more episodes on October 2nd. I also wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of those who take time to listen every week. With your support we've been able to consistently rank as one of the most listened to tech podcasts in the world, attracting a remarkable lineup of guests who I've felt truly honored to talk to and whose conversations I hope you've enjoyed as much as I have. 

If you haven't done so yet, I recommend checking out our Youtube channel where you can find other great content from Singularity as well as videos for some select episodes of the podcast. We also have a wonderful website for the podcast (https://www.su.org/podcasts/the-feedback-loop), where you can find time-coded transcripts packaged together nicely with videos and links to the podcasts. 

Be sure to subscribe if you haven't yet, as we'll have some big announcements coming this winter regarding ways you get more involved with the podcast, including potentially being featured on the show. 

Thanks again, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks. 


Hosted by Singularity University, The Singularity Discussion Series is a deep and ongoing conversation about the forces that will define tomorrow. Rather than offering quick tech news, this podcast creates a space for sustained exploration. Each episode features leading thinkers and practitioners who examine exponential technologies like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, blockchain, and quantum computing. The discussions go beyond isolated innovations to focus on their powerful convergence-the point where these fields intersect to reshape everything from global industries and economic models to the fabric of our daily lives. You’ll hear nuanced analysis on both the immediate implications and the long-term trajectories of these changes. The goal is to unpack the breakthroughs that are actively redefining the boundaries of the possible, providing listeners with a clearer, more thoughtful understanding of the complex future we are building together. Tune in for a consistently insightful and forward-looking dialogue that challenges assumptions and illuminates the path ahead.
