Robots: Our Future Relationships, The Uncanny Valley & Uneducated Predictions
About this episode
Domo arigato Mr Juanboto.
In Episode #261 Juan and I discuss: some changes to our podcast format, whether we could love or be friends with robots, why robots in our sports could be epic, Bender from Futurama, my fetish for holes of all sorts (apparently), why I want a drone sitting on my shoulder and whether you will like the new format.
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
