But I prefer the podcast medium, plus that means I can do this interview in my pajamas! (Just kidding, I’m not wearing pajamas)Īnyway, I’m really excited to spend this very first episode of the show on a really incredible announcement. Later presidents turned to video for their addresses, President Obama and President Trump delivered their addresses by video. Bush had a podcast back in 2001, if you can believe it. I’m not the first president to deliver their address by podcast though. He called them fireside chats, as I’m sure many of you know. I’m Naomi Walder, you know, since I’m the president of the United States.įranklin Roosevelt was the first president to do a weekly address, and he delivered his over the radio. Naomi Walder (President): Hi, and welcome to the first ever episode of Speaker Side Chats. This episode we’re starting in the year 2022. We always start with a little field trip to the future, to check out what’s going on, and then we teleport back to today to talk to experts about how that world we just heard might really go down. Every episode we take on a specific possible… or not so possible future scenario. Flash Forward is a show about the future. Rose: Hello and welcome to Flash Forward! I’m Rose and I’m your host. That’s all for this future, come back next time and we’ll travel to a new one. But if that’s not in the cards for you, you can head to iTunes and leave us a nice review or just tell your friends about us.
