  • Essential podcast for immersive world

    I’ve been following Kent’s work for almost 10 years now, and it’s incredible how much essential knowledge about the immersive industry collected in this podcast. It documented every turn, most of important creative projects, games, platform developments. Kent has also developed his own theory of presence and essential dive into ethics in XR. Kent is the voice of the immersive industry, and I hope everyone who’s interested in this space follows Kent’s work and listens to his podcast.

    Interview with weirdo who wouldn’t even have been covered in Mondo 2000.

    Host: What about Schopenhauer’s “Theory of The Bland”?

    Guest: ummm whut?

    Host: Well I talked with Guest about [verbatim restatement of what guest said] and they said [verbatim restatement of what guest said].
