With over 2 million of them in circulation, podcasts are the way forward and we thought this warranted some recognition. So we reached out to the people we love, admire and have the immense pleasure of calling friends asking them to give us a podcast recommendation from some of their favourites. Our recommenders have really dug deep to give us recommendations that mean something to them or have caused a shift in the way they perceive the world. So the reasons to listen are all from their hearts.

Cultural Futurism is a special interest of mine. And in this month's feature, I do a deep-dive into the world of sci-fi, speculative fiction, cyberpunk and a bunch of related things through the lens of queer, indigenous, localized cultural futurisms. We discuss books, games, webtoons, art and so much more to understand how diverse people people and collectives use current understandings of sociopolitical realities to imagine what culture and human behaviour will look like - ten, twenty, hundred, even a thousand years into the future.

Play is an essential part of the human experience. No, this is not just my opinion or a universal platitude. It is something researchers have observed, catalogued and concluded over the years.

In this article, we track philosophies of play from the Upanishads, learn about an ancient ballgame from Mesoamerica, see how playgrounds evolved after WWII destroyed Europe and how parks were designed in Singapore to ease the sense of isolation for people moving to the city. This article is extra-special for the images sourced from our community of artists and creatives.

Read on to know more about the histories and philosophies of play and why they matter to us even today.

Read on to find out about some unique ways in which people practice the art of community over the Spring Equinox.
