Enter the Metaverse: Part 1
Show Notes

Technology – what’s it all about, anyway? 

Join Heather, Glen & Matt as they examine the promises and possibilities of Web 3.0. Can NFTs provide a viable alternative for artists to get paid fairly for their work? Is the Metaverse truly a game-changer for tech, or simply another false dawn? And what the hell is up with Mark Zuckerberg’s hair? 

We get into all of these questions (and more) over the course of two cyber-soaked episodes. In this, the first part, we start with a now woefully out-of-date chat about the Will Smith Slap, before checking in on Facebook/Meta and Emperor Zuck, and then finishing up for now with Heather and Matt getting into it about the pros and cons of NFTs. 

Then, check back next week for Part 2 where we delve deeper into the philosophy of the Metaverse itself, asking such existential questions as “what is desire?”, “is liberation possible?” and “what if you got fired in the Metaverse by a 3D Barney Gumble?”
