Once more, dear listeners, our audacious hosts Jared and Eric hurl themselves into the wild and ever-changing landscape of the Metaverse slash podcastverse slash mediaverse slash, oh you get the idea! Each spark in this digital cosmos represents another complex issue, another head-scratcher ready to be dissected. This time, the big questions are: Do we have an overconsumption of media problem? What’s the future of cities and civilizations? And seriously, what’s up with all the bad content out there?

Jared, our wise Metaverse sage, meditates on our age of excess—from social media feeds that never stop scrolling to sequel-saturated movie marathons. He delves into the grand tapestry of consumption, threading together observations and revelations with the skill of a master weaver.

Meanwhile, Eric, the sly commentator, prepares to lift the curtain on Hollywood’s writers' strike and the influence of AI in tinsel town. Is artificial intelligence our next Oscar-winning scriptwriter, or just a passing fad? And are AI large language models simply providing us with something we've always used (in a way) or is everyone on the verge of having a copyright infringement problemo?

Together, these co-hosts plunge into the complex labyrinth of urban futures, traversing from bustling metropolises to secondary cities offering a tantalizing blend of quality of life and vibrant culture. They navigate the twists and turns of shifting demographics, the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, and the precious element linking them all—water.
