Just a Model is the podcast that travels through the interstitium, past the trends and the outrage, straight to the meaning and beauty of tech, design, behavior and innovation.
Your hosts are Ron Kersic, reversed historian and tech maven and he’s joined by Peet Sneekes freelance time traveler.
In this podcast we’ll be exposing hidden connections, lay bare possible futures and discuss the unimaginable.
