Where Future Tech Meets Reality
Exploring the cutting edge of technologyβfrom AI-native operating systems to atomic 3D printing, clean energy to FTL communication. Join us as we bridge science fiction with emerging reality.
Dive deep into the technologies shaping our future
Exploring the future of computing where intelligence replaces apps. What happens when your operating system understands context, learns your preferences, and dynamically generates interfaces on demand?
What if we could print objects atom by atom? We explore the emerging field of atomic-precision manufacturing, its implications for materials science, and how it could revolutionize everything from medicine to space exploration.
Solar and wind are just the beginning. We examine next-generation energy technologies including fusion power, advanced geothermal, space-based solar, and energy storage breakthroughs that could finally solve the climate crisis.
Rendered Real is a podcast dedicated to exploring the cutting edge of technology and its real-world applications. We don't just speculate about the futureβwe examine the science, engineering, and economics that will make it happen.
Each episode dives deep into a specific technology or concept, from AI-native operating systems to atomic manufacturing, from clean energy breakthroughs to faster-than-light communication theories. We interview researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who are actively building tomorrow.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between science fiction and emerging reality, providing listeners with informed optimism about humanity's technological future while maintaining a pragmatic, evidence-based perspective.
David Yocom is a product manager, entrepreneur, and technology enthusiast with a passion for AI, emerging tech, and the future of human-computer interaction. Creator of Project CORTEX and founder of Arcsine Labs.
Comprehensive exploration without overwhelming jargon. Complex concepts made accessible.
Conversations with researchers, engineers, and builders actively creating the future.
Detailed timestamps, research links, and resources for every episode.
Realistic assessments and evidence-based forecasts separating hype from progress.
Technologies that could genuinely transform societyβparadigm shifts, not incremental improvements.
Every claim grounded in research, data, and expert validation with rigorous standards.
