Before we go, however, check out the Immersive Audience Survey for 2019 that we put up this week. You’ll want to take some time with it.

ON THE PODCAST THIS WEEK

Get ready to get weird as we touch base with the team behind ‘The Under Presents,’ the groundbreaking virtual reality experience that takes immersive theatre techniques and applies them to VR storytelling… and then layers in an experience with live actors dropping into the virtual world on top of that.

Samantha Gorman and Tanya Leal Soto of Tender Claws join us, along with actor James Cowan, one of the performers currently appearing inside The Under.

Plus: a little talk about California’s AB5.
