The 88 Names Podcast via RIse Up Daily.

A little over a year ago novelist Matt Ruff (Lovecraft Country) and journalist Blake Collier reached out to us. They were doing a podcast to promote Matt’s new novel, 88 Names, which is set in a world where virtual reality is a lot further along than our own. They wanted to talk about the creative side of it all with us.

It was a grand time.

Now, after a most unexpected year and two seasons of the podcast, Blake and Matt have wrapped up their show and we asked them to come on our show and talk about their journey through the immersive world — not just the art & entertainment side, but forays into medicine and philosophy as well.

Show Notes

Bonus Episode: Serial Killer Speed Dating Stalks Clubhouse

LA’s Serial Killer Speed Dating, which put a little immersive horror twist on the speed dating format, has created not one but TWO online versions over the course of the pandemic.

The first was the Zoom series, which adapted the live show to everyone’s favorite video chat platform and the latest is a Clubhouse-based game show, which is now part of the Clubhouse CREATOR FIRST pilot program which will see some lucky producers get their shows picked up for development by the social audio app.

Will our guests Abel Horwitz and Jacob Patterson be amongst those lucky producers? Check out their show this Saturday, May 15th at 3 pm PT / 6 pm ET on the Clubhouse Main Stage. CH is NOW ON ANDROID and not just iOS.
