Keep Earth Weird, a chat with Quinn Norton [http://quinnnorton.com/]
Talking about the unfolding slow apocalypse (aka the early Jackpot Years (aka Welcome to the Churn)), and why - no matter how bad things get here on Earth - it's much easier to terraform our home planet than settle on Mars or Venus. Also the pros of slow travel and technomadism, and the cons of cupcakes.
