SOONISH: If you're a fan of Mary Roach, popular science, Reddit, or the future, this is likely right up your alley.

No topic is too serious for Zach and Kelly Weinersmith. After all they are the satirical cartoonists responsible for the popular web comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. “Soonish” is a macro to micro, lighthearted discussion of science and society that explores future technologies that may or may not be the doom of civilization—starting from outer space all the way to the human brain. Annalee Newitz, the tech culture editor of Ars Technica and author of Scatter, Adapt and Remember joins the couple this weekend for a discussion.
