The world's changing faster than most of us can keep up.

Artificial intelligence. Crypto. Longevity. Future cities. Robotics. Biotechnology. Digital identity. Every week there's another headline, another buzzword, another conversation that seems like everyone else already understands.

Decoded: The Nerd & The Newbie is a podcast about the topics shaping the future, explained through conversation instead of assumption. Each episode pairs a Nerd—someone deeply immersed in a subject—with a Newbie, who asks the questions most people would ask if they weren't worried about sounding uninformed. Together, they unpack the ideas, technologies and cultural shifts shaping the world around us.

Every conversation ends the same way: "Okay, but where do I start?" with one practical next step for anyone who wants to keep exploring.

    Decoded Ep1: Starter Cities
    Jul 28 2026

    Hosts: Jess Furman (as The Nerd) & Nastaran "Nas" Ahmadi (as The Newbie)

    What happens when technology changes faster than governments? What makes a city work? And are we entering an era where communities are becoming as important as countries?

    Jess disappeared for a month to live in a “Starter City” experiment on an artificial island in Malaysia. No official mayor. No city council. Just a structured community experimenting with what cities—and even countries—might look like in the future.

    In this first episode of Decoded, our Newbie, Nas, has no idea where Jess has been. As our Nerd explains the difference between a Network School, a Starter City, a Pop-up City, and a Network State, the conversation becomes much bigger than one trip.

    As always, we end with one question:

    "Okay... but where do I start?"
