Silicon Valley’s Quest for Immortality in New BBC Podcast
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
A man who injects himself with his son’s plasma to slow his aging. Researchers stitching mice together to extend their lifespan. An entrepreneur building a microstate beyond the FDA’s reach. In The Immortals, a new podcast from the BBC, technology reporter Aleks Krotoski visits the frontiers of Silicon Valley’s movement to delay, and perhaps altogether fight, death. She joins us in the studio to talk about the show and what she’s learned. Also, we take your calls. Would you want to live forever?
