Hear from the best and the brightest practitioners and critics in the medium.

PopePat ,

This guy gets it!

A lot of people love their area of interest but how many go that extra mile and dedicate every waking hour to exploring, reviewing, venerating, sharing and growing their beloved genre. Noah Nelson gives until it hurts on his podcast which features not only his diligence but the diligence of a dedicated staff of reviewers who scour the globe for immersive entertainment worth sharing with us. You will find every episode to be a trove of insightful information on everything from Escape Rooms to VR. Enjoy it all. I do ... every week and then some!
