Introducing Is This The Metaverse?, a new Digiday podcast

Digiday is proud to introduce Is This The Metaverse?, a podcast breaking down the different ways people are translating their physical lives into virtual worlds — and how brands and platforms are looking to make money from all this activity.

In six episodes, we hear from the companies converting physical experiences into virtual entertainment — via fitness, concerts, fashion, advertising and coworking — and the individuals who are actually hanging out inside these virtual spaces. It will explore why people are motivated to spend time inside the metaverse, and how their motivations can mesh, or clash, with the platforms’ desire to make a profit.

Is This The Metaverse? is co-hosted by Alexander Lee, Digiday’s senior gaming and esports reporter, and Digiday audio producer Sara Patterson, with Glossy international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska guest-hosting an episode on virtual fashion.
