This is It’s Just a Model, the podcast that travels 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 freelance time traveler Peet Sneekes.

In this podcast we’ll be exposing hidden connections, lay bare possible futures and discuss the unimaginable.

Oh and If you experience value from this podcast, like information, entertainment, like a good old disagreement, then you can return said value through your time, talent, and treasure. See our website and the show notes for more details.
