Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

With the rise of recommerce, parents can find and buy top brands' children's products — from toys and clothing to furniture and car seats — at a deep discount. Our guest today is Shraysi Tandon, cofounder and CEO of Kidsy, a dealer of new and open-box children's products that is growing fast. According to TechCrunch, the company reached an annual revenue run rate of $1 million only a few months after going live, and its backers are a Who's Who of tech and sustainability investors. Shraysi comes from a journalism background at Bloomberg and ABC News, and her experience making a documentary on child labor shaped the Kidsy business plan. She says the "beautiful surprise" she found when starting Kidsy was the ease with which a company can begin sustainably and get on the path to constant improvement. That means we can retire environmentally irresponsible practices across the economy.
Children's products are a circular challenge since states sometimes ban used items, as we heard in our recent conversation with IKEA's U.S. Sustainability Manager, Mardi Ditze. Kidsy's strategy focuses on capturing unsold goods from retail and opened but unused items. It's part of the $761 billion recommerce movement with special requirements, and we'll explore how Kidsy ensures products are safe and clean, as well as the challenges of competing with established E-commerce companies.
