Host & Producer
THINKfuture Radio Show
(Privately Held; Myself Only; Internet industry)
March 2005 — April 2008 (3 years 2 months)
The THINKfuture Radio Show is audio commentary on current events, politics, work, life and play from a unique socially liberal, fiscally conservative viewpoint. Future, a conservative leaning libertarian, tackles every topic under the sun, from todays political climate (predicted a Hillary 08 win) to using social networking and the internet to improve humanity, and everything in between. Future asserts that "Being a libertarian, both sides hate me equally" and as such takes on all comers. The show has been compared to an earthquake, a tsunami, and a box of chocolates, cause you never know what you are gonna get. Some of Future's choicest sayings are: "This is not a lecture, it's a conversation."
