I sat down with Nik, Robyn & Skeeva to discuss harassment, abuse, racism, bullying in VR. This podcast is explicit and contains dark themes but is all real. The video examples in the middle episodes were blurred out to not single anyone out.

If you're being discriminated, harassed or bullied in VR or any medium for that matter, please talk to someone or reach out to us. You are not alone.

*I call Madrid noir, midnight noir in the podcast, I misread the title 🙈

The first ever solo podcast is here! With Samson away, I somehow managed to talk for almost an hour straight! 

We dive into some kind listener and patron emails, Sniper Elite VR reviewed well, Madrid Noir is solid, some Synthriders updates, Chess Club is dope and is VR Lame right now? Or can we expect a big oculus connect in September?
