It’s the final Make Me Smart of 2017 and we got a few of our previous guests to give us predictions about what they think might happen in 2018.
Who made predictions:
Andy Weir, author of “The Martian” and “Artemis.”
Annabelle Gurwitch, actress and the author of “Wherever You Go, There They Are: Stories About My Family You Might Relate To.”
Zeynep Tufekci, associate professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of “Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest.”
Terrell McSweeny, a commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission.
Heather Arndt Anderson, food historian and author of “Berries: A Global History” and “Portland: A Food Biography.”
Sue Desmond-Hellmann, the CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
April Reign, creator of the hashtags #OscarsSoWhite and #NoConfederate.
Plus we (finally) answer The Make Me Smart question.
None of us is as smart as all of us.
No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.
It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
