Catch David Mattin on Do Radio: Tomorrow's Word with Jon Kaye 19-25 January 2026

David Mattin is the author of New World Same Humans, a widely read exploration of what happens when fast-moving technology collides with slow-changing human nature.

A former global head of trends at TrendWatching, David’s work focuses less on prediction and more on perspective. He asks why new tools so often reproduce old behaviours, and why understanding people, not platforms, may be the most important skill of the future.

In this conversation, Jon Kaye and David explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and the human experience. They talk about the evolution of radio and listener engagement, the impact of AI on work and identity, and why individuality and community will matter more, not less, in a tech-driven world. David shares thoughtful insights on preparing the next generation for uncertainty, arguing that creativity, resilience, and adaptability will be essential traits in the years ahead.

This is a conversation for anyone who suspects that the future won’t be saved by better technology alone, but by better thinking, deeper connection, and a clearer sense of what actually matters.
