Over the course of this pandemic year, and under the punishment of isolation, the thing we’ve arguably been craving the most is to be able to actually hear each other’s voices. To talk and to listen. Then Clubhouse, an audio-driven chat app, exploded onto the scene as an extremely effective tool in helping us to do just that. And, while it is invite-only (for now at least), it will likely develop into a fixture of our online worlds as we continue to adapt to new and creative ways of keeping in touch. Arielle Pardes is a senior writer at WIRED. She joined perspectivves to talk about the craze surrounding Clubhouse, her thoughts on the “darkside” of the app, and whether it can survive as social media giants like Twitter and Facebook work on introducing competing features of their own.
