New York and Los Angeles \u2013 June 7, 2023<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Today Sony Music Entertainment and Hyperobject Industries announced the launch of\u00a0Without<\/em><\/a>,<\/a>\u00a0a new podcast hosted by international bestselling author\u00a0Omar El Akkad<\/strong>\u00a0that takes listeners on an exploration of the things we stand to lose, the things we should be losing, and what might still be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every episode of\u00a0Without<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is a thought experiment \u2013 what would the world look like if something we\u2019ve become used to were no longer around? In some cases, it\u2019s something we\u2019re already losing \u2013 species, natural phenomena, places. In other cases, it\u2019s things we probably should learn to live without \u2013 fossil fuels, nuclear weapons. In other cases, it\u2019s purely a speculative thesis \u2013 what would happen if the internet totally collapsed tomorrow? Available today, episode one digs into the surprising significance of sand, uncovering its looming scarcity and the unexpected underworld of sand crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Akkad is an author and journalist whose debut novel, American War<\/em>, is a prophetic and haunting allegory for a very near dystopian future: a United States ravaged by climate change and disease. In Without,<\/em> El Akkad continues his thought experiment around what our future could look like. From antibiotics to glaciers to public spaces, the podcast tackles how we process a world that\u2019s changing faster right now than any other time in human history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Without<\/em> is in many ways a show about the end of certainty. If there was ever a time when we could rely on the load-bearing beams of the world to stay unchanged, that time is over,\u201d said El Akkad. \u201cFrom glaciers to seasons to the continued availability of a resource as common as sand, the Anthropocene is ridding us of our communal belief that some things will always be around, always be the same. This isn\u2019t a show meant to scare people or scream that the end is nigh, it\u2019s about how we think and behave in a world that\u2019s changing faster and more fundamentally than at any other time in our history.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without<\/em> is a Sony Music Entertainment <\/strong>and Hyperobject Industries <\/strong>production. It is written by Omar El Akkad. Executive Producers are Clare Slaughter, Harry Nelson, and Adam McKay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
