Ron Bronson and Joel Goodman met through a weird combination of the early social web, higher education marketing, and year-end music blogs. After nearly two decades of friendship, they finally started that podcast they always talked about. And you’ve managed to find it.
A book club for our future
The world often feels like it’s speeding toward oblivion, and it sometimes seems we’re all about to lose our humanity. This podcast is about considering the future through the lens of modern writing. In each episode, we discuss a book that we hope challenges our assumptions, our actions, and what we think we know. We’ll also speak with the authors or with people who have direct knowledge of the topics.
We hope you’ll read along with us an support these people who make us consider our modern condition. At the end of each episode we’ll let you know what book we’re reading next. Join the conversation on Bluesky by following @futureperfectbook.club, @ronbronson.com, and @joelgoodman.co.
We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s work toward a more perfect future.
