Zelda vs Zuckerberg’s Metaverse – ABC Radio National

We’re escaping to Hyrule in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, shutting down the Metaverse and talking to Jury Duty hero Ronald Gladden.

Why has Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg quietly shelved Metaverse, his multi-billion dollar attempt to build an immersive virtual reality world? Well, it turns out the Metaverse didn’t have the legs to continue.

Fans of Amazon’s Jury Duty rejoice! Series star Ronald answers all our burning questions about his experience on the mockumentary series and how his life has changed since its release.

Ben reviews Nintendo’s blockbuster new Zelda release and finds it to be a healing balm for our busy, modern world; and Beverley wishes she was Martha Stewart.
