Been looking forward to this for months (it's been that long in the making, I did my 2 hour recording with the podcast team in July) — The Wall Street Journal's podcast on the founding of Second Life:
We’re in a metaverse déjà vu moment. Companies are spending billions of dollars creating new metaverses, imagining a 3D virtual future. But there’s a metaverse that’s already been around for decades. In this world, people have started businesses, built homes and fallen in love as avatars. In a new four-part series from The Journal, producer Annie Minoff heads back into that largely forgotten metaverse – Second Life – to tell the story of the metaverse we already have and what it can reveal about the one that’s coming.
Stream on Spotify above, or listen or read the transcript for Part 1 here; also available on Apple Podcasts here.
UPDATE, 6:40PM: Bumped up for weekend listening!
