The Parallel Effect Podcast is a space for imagination as a method of analysis — and for analysis that opens new possibilities.
This speculative interview series invites exciting thinkers to imagine worlds that could have emerged if history had taken a different turn.
From reimagining climate policy, economic systems, and global governance, to exploring justice, technology, health, and identity in radically different ways, the series blends imagination with critical reflection. Our goal is to show that the world we inhabit is not inevitable — our systems were imagined by humans, which means they can be dismantled, redesigned, and reimagined.
The Parallel Effect Podcast sits at the intersection of speculative storytelling, political imagination, and systems thinking. It’s a place to question inherited narratives, challenge power, and explore the structural shifts needed to build a more equitable world.
Whether you’re a fellow changemaker or a curious thinker, this newsletter and series is your portal into worlds that might have been — and how they can inspire the world we want to build.
