On July 26, 2017, Sam Barton's Talk of Today podcast published a fifty-five-minute conversation with me under the banner "Biohacking and Transhumanism." The episode's thesis was stated right up front: "We can now take our evolution into our own hands."

The bill of topics ran wide even by my standards: encryption and what the episode notes called "the one key to rule them all," RFID and magnetic implantables, genetic engineering with CRISPR-Cas9, and transhumanism generally. The notes summarized the range of what today's technology already allows, "from paying for stuff with a wave of a hand, to actually changing our very own genetic makeup." My end of it stayed where it usually does: the chips that open doors and sign data today are the practical, shipping edge of that much larger conversation.

The episode notes introduced me as "Chief of Awesome and Dangerous Things," a title I never put on a business card but have also never once corrected. Show notes lived at talkoftoday.com.
