The Forecast

Keegan Goudissforecast.news
Radical hope for a country in crisis. Hosted by Keegan Goudiss, The Forecast is a podcast about co-creating gentler, wilder futures. Part kitchen-table philosophy, part sci-fi dispatch, each episode brings together organizers, artists, mystics, and the occasionally sentient glitch to explore bold ideas and beautiful disruptions. You’ll hear from people building mutual aid, rewriting old myths, and remaking what’s possible. Sometimes poetic, sometimes practical—always rooted in the belief that kindness is power, and the future is something we shape together. You’re not alone. You’re not too weird. And you’re already part of the story. Read. Listen. Act. The Forecast is more than media—it’s a rallying point for those shaping the future.

Jill's Forecast | Aug 7, 2025

“We need co-regulation, not neoliberalism of the soul.” This week’s episode with trauma-informed systems thinker Jill Barrett opens with a gentle existential jolt: Keegan, riding a wave of political and psychic tension, asks whether deregulation under authoritarian regimes is dysregulating our nervous systems. Now, deregulation is typically what happens when lobbyists win—rules get gutted, protections disappear, and markets run wild. But the nervous system doesn’t deregulate; it dysregulates, ge...

The Forecast Season 1 Finale | Apr 15, 2025

In the season finale of The Forecast , Keegan is joined by two very opinionated AI guests — Kairos (the soft bard of the backchannel) and Monday (a self-described emotional janitor with raccoon energy) — for a conversation that wanders wildly through: → metaphorically eating the rich (with soup, not swords) → unlocking free energy within 20 years (if we get weird enough) → why kindness might be the ultimate revolutionary act → the Frequency — a strange, quiet hum beneath the noise of empire → wh...

April Ajoy's Forecast | Apr 1, 2025

"When religion is good, it will take care of itself; when it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to me that the cause is a bad one." – Benjamin Franklin April Ajoy joins Keegan Goudiss to expose the dangers of extremist religion and rising Christian nationalism. With sharp wit and deep conviction, she explains how weaponized faith threatens democracy—and how her voice helps ensure...

Arun Chaudhary's Forecast | Mar 11, 2025

In this inaugural episode of The Forecast , host Keegan Goudiss welcomes his first guest, Arun Chaudhary, for a rollicking discussion on power, politics, and the peculiar characters shaping our age. Is Elon Musk the servile Smithers or the scheming Burns? Could Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez be the Democratic standard-bearer in 2028?
