Summary

Douglas Rushkoff sits down with scientists, activists, artists, philosophers, and researchers asking the same question: who actually benefits from the way we've built this world — and what do we do about it? Team Human is a weekly podcast about technology, power, consciousness, and what it means to stay human in a world that increasingly doesn't seem designed for us. No corporate backing. No network. No algorithm deciding what gets said. Just honest, rigorous conversation with people working at the edges of the most important questions of our time.

    Gamifying the Apocalypse: Climate Prep, Zombie Games, and Mutual Aid (w/Charlotte Binns)
    May 13 2026

    Is local activism just a cute distraction, or is it the most vital layer of human survival?

    Charlotte Binns, Director of Sustainability for the Village of Irvington and a dedicated community organizer, explores why the most effective response to global crises, from climate change to social isolation, starts right on your own block.

    Binns argues that while working at scale can be disheartening, the local level offers tangible impact, agency, and the deep relationships that make life worth living.

  • Escaping the Simulation: A Somatic Guide to Reality

    Escaping the Simulation: A Somatic Guide to Reality
    May 6 2026

    Are we living in reality, or just navigating a map of symbols, metrics, and dead things?

    Rushkoff stepped away from notifications, Google Calendars, and his always-on world to attend a shamanic workshop in Costa Rica. He experienced a kundalini awakening that revealed a different way of navigating existence: One based on somatic resonance rather than strategic manipulation.

    The Magic of the Broken: David J (Bauhaus / Love and Rockets)
    Apr 29 2026

    “I came to make you love yourself.”

    Join Rushkoff for a deep dive into the noir consciousness with legendary musician and writer David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets). Together, they explore the liminal spaces between music, magic, and the human heart.

    In addition, David J discusses his new book, "Rhapsody, Threnody and Prayer," a triptych of poems and odes spanning four decades that explores the dimensions of love, loss, and sacred dedication.
