A deep dive into the immersive realm

My favorite podcasts get down to the bottom of something and then start digging. Every NoPro podcast does this. If you care about immersive you'll fall in love. If you don't, you'll probably still enjoy every episode because Noah dives so heavily into the psyche of his creators

Indispensable, but needs tweaks

Full disclosure: I’m a fan and a supporter, and listen to every single ep, many more than once. This podcast covers this broad, growing industry with passion and commitment. From major events on the global map like Venice & Tribeca (RIP) to the impact of the pandemic, to small, can’t-miss regional and local (Los Angeles, Vegas, Denver, etc.) coverage and reviews, Noah Nelson does the immersive community worldwide an incredible service with this podcast. The host needs to show more restraint with the chatter and digressions, without losing the passion and commitment that make this an essential podcast. Rotation of hosting would go a long way to rectifying that, as the team seems to have lost some key personnel who handled reviews and other features. I’ll still listening, no matter what.
