The No Proscenium Podcast

Ricky Brigante and Sarah A.S. Elger, authors of the 2020 Immersive Entertainment Industry Annual Report, join us to talk about some of the big takeaways from this year's edition -- which is four times the size of the 2019 Report.

A few weeks back David Liu -- Creative Director at AFVR.co, a virtual reality consulting firm,  and formerly the Creative Director of Viacom Next and recently with the volumetric capture company The Lightframe Co. in NYC -- who tweets under the handle TheDak posted an interesting thread-- which David now refers to as “that thread” about the state of hiring practices in XR. David and I are Twitter friends. I like the cut of his jib. He’s got a ton of experience, and he champions the multi-disciplinary approach to team building in XR, the most tech-heavy part of the overall immersive entertainment industry.  We start out on the thread, but this is No Proscenium, so we go all over the place. Especially because David and I have never really chatted before. I love it when these kidneys of episodes work out. I do, however, talk too much. Shock. Plus: a few words about the current cultural moment(s) we find ourselves in at the top of the show from yours truly. -Noah J. Nelson Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This time out Zay and Noah discuss three episodes of the 2017 DuckTales reboot. TERROR OF THE TERRA FIRMIANS, HOUSE OF THE LUCKY GANDER, and THE INFERNAL INTERNSHIP OF MARK BEAKS are all covered along with the show's views on billionaires and a side trip into Jerry Garcia's favorite movie. It's the show about DuckTales, that's not really a show about DuckTales. Except when it is.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Continuing our miniseries where Zay Amsbury and Noah Nelson talk about the 2017 DuckTales, this edition covers the episodes "The Great Dime Chase" and "The Beagle Birthday Massacre," the movie Ben-Hur, Hollywood writers' obsession with subverting expectations vs. classical storytelling, and beer.

Welcome to a special miniseries from the creators of No Proscenium.  This is Webbed Toes: The DuckTales Footnotes, a show that is, ostensibly, about the 2017 DuckTales reboot.

(which for some reason is episodes 4 & 5 on Disney+, if you're watching along) and "Daytrip of Doom!" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
