Today dear listener we go all Santa Clause on your heinies and bring you a special post I/O episode featuring some interviews we recorded live from the event. Whether you're interested in the dulcet tones of Nick Butcher, or you just want to rock out with a cube painting robot, we have you covered in this weeks special episode.

Normal services will resume as per usual later this week. Don't anybody go panicking on us!

This episode features:

Google is hurtling head first into the world of VR. But behind the news, what's actually going on? To find out the Material Crew are joined by two Senior Designers and Prototypers from the Google VR Daydream team. Where did this interesting new project come from? Where is it going? And just what interesting things have Manuel and Robbie tried so far during their experimentation phase?

There's only one place to find out, and only one way to know. Tune in to this weeks episode in stereoscopic 3D* sound!

*N.B. Much like cake, reliably built British cars and IOU notes from your friends, the 3D is a lie. But you know, at least you found out because you read all the way to the end. Yay you!

Manuel Clément and Robbie Tilton
