What if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Possible is an award-winning, weekly podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Hosts Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger explore what’s possible with forward-thinking leaders, deep thinkers, and ambitious builders across many fields, such as technology, art, education and healthcare. These conversations center on the ways technology—and, in particular, AI—is shaping the future. In episodes, AI tools such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Inflection’s Pi are at work, offering informational asides, prompting guests, or demoing what they can do. Lastly, between guest episodes, Aria interviews her co-host Reid on his latest takes on what’s possible if we use technology—and our collective effort—effectively.Reid Hoffman 2023

  • Stephen Colbert on connection, discovery, and human nature

    Stephen Colbert on connection, discovery, and human nature
    Dec 24 2025
    This is a holiday special re-airing of our excellent episode with Stephen Colbert. What could we gain—and what might we lose—when technology begins to approximate the contours of human connection and presence? In this episode, Reid and Aria chat with comedian, actor, and political commentator Stephen Colbert. Best known for hosting The Colbert Report and The Late Show, Stephen combines a razor sharp satire with a sincere curiosity about the world. Together, Reid, Aria, and Stephen discuss the art of live performance, the many lessons one can learn from J.R.R. Tolkien, and the nature of creativity, humor, and imagination in the age of AI. The result is a meditation on discovery, empathy, and the bonds that make connection more than performance — but a shared act of being human.

  • The power of AI, from curing cancer to ballot boxes

    The power of AI, from curing cancer to ballot boxes
    Dec 17 2025
    In this special episode of Reid Riffs, Reid and Aria are joined by Pulitzer Prize–winning author, oncologist, and Manas AI cofounder Siddhartha Mukherjee for a few questions about cancer, AI, and the second edition of The Emperor of All Maladies. Reflecting back on the 15 years since its initial publication, Reid, Aria and Sid discuss how cancer prevention, early detection, and immunotherapy have fundamentally shifted while the disease continues to be a defining challenge of modern medicine. The conversation charts how AI can become a true engine of drug discovery and how Manas was built to be an AI-native biopharmaceutical company focused on developing entirely new medicines. The episode then broadens out to tackle the current cultural moment in Silicon Valley, questioning whether the Valley is entering a new Renaissance driven by more meaningful work, clearer values, and a renewed theory of human progress. The episode closes by grappling with AI’s growing persuasive power in politics and public discourse, and the responsibility to design systems that elevate truth, agency, and humanity rather than distort them.

  • The AI energy war is here

    The AI energy war is here
    Dec 10 2025
    In this episode of Reid Riffs, Reid and Aria explain why "compute" is the new oil powering the cognitive industrial revolution. They argue that the United States must urgently expand domestic data centers and energy infrastructure to remain globally competitive. The conversation explores how rapid data center construction is transforming blue-collar labor markets, driving significant wage growth for electricians, HVAC technicians, and skilled trades while dispelling misinformation about data centers' impact on rising electricity costs. Reid warns that China's aggressive energy expansion is also widening the global competitiveness gap, underscoring the need for stable, long-term U.S. energy policy spanning nuclear, natural gas, solar, and wind. Reid and Aria also discuss how America's next era of prosperity hinges on how decisively it builds the physical backbone of AI and why keeping AI infrastructure on U.S. soil is critical for jobs, intellectual property, and national security.
