Time traveling in from 2006, an epic phone call with Roger Nelson at Princeton University and futurist Dr. Tomorrow (aka Frank Ogden) during a "live" broadcast of Living on Purpose on CHLY in Nanaimo BC Canada with host and producer, Lynn Thompson. Roger is still at the helm of the Global Consciousness Project and dear Frank "passed into the future" from his fuller-than-full life on December 29, 2012 at the age of 92. Shortly after I attended Dr. Tomorrow's 90th birthday bash in Vancouver, he sent me an email and signed it YOUR FAVORITE WEIRDO. FRANK. His primary message: "You can't predict the future but you can prepare for it." Gorgeous music wrapping and weaving through the "live" show is with thanks to the Soul Jazz Orchestra from their CD Uprooted, "Red Light."

The Venus Project "emphasizes the redesign of a culture" and is an organization that proposes a peaceful and sustainable global civilization where human rights is a way of life. In 2008, when Lynn Thompson visited Jacque and Roxanne in Florida on their 22-acre property, she recorded with both of them, walking around the property and sitting in their futuristic home. Since Jacque Fresco died in May 2017, futurist Roxanne Meadows continues The Venus Project at the Research Center that they built together. This half-hour podcast is a glimpse of the full two hours of recordings that day. Enjoy!
