WaitWhat, Quartz To Debut Caterina Fake's 'Should This Exist?' Podcast

New

WAITWHAT, producers of the "MASTERS OF SCALE" podcast, and business news website/app QUARTZ are debuting a new podcast hosted by SILICON VALLEY angel investor and FLICKR co-founder CATERINA FAKE.  "SHOULD THIS EXIST?," a show on the impact of technology on humanity, launches its first season on FEBRUARY 21st and is sponsored by ACCENTURE.

"Technology moves so fast we've become accustomed to the idea that nearly everything can exist, but too few of us stop to ask 'should this exist?'," said FAKE. "What kind of world do we want to build? Let's guide our inventions towards their best possible future."

"In creating MASTERS OF SCALE, this question about how technology impacts our humanity keeps coming up," said WAITWHAT Co-Founder and "SHOULD THIS EXIST?" Executive Producer JUNE COHEN. "We've reached a turning point where entrepreneurs are leaning in to engage around these questions of unintended consequences. It's the right moment for a show that explores how creators of unprecedented technologies can move their vision toward its best possible future."

"SHOULD THIS EXIST? isn't just another media launch. It's an important model for how inventors and entrepreneurs -- and all of us, really -- can grapple in a structured way with the trade-offs between technology's fullest potential and its pitfalls," said QUARTZ Editor-in-Chief KEVIN DELANEY. "The show will create a new kind of conversation around invention that we should have been having for years."
