Matt gave the team a 101 on Metaverse and how all the tech giants are trying to define their own versions of Metaverse. Next, Vernon shared his joy of using the internet to contextualise his cultural consumptions and how that has enriched his experiences. And finally, the trio talked about Ringo Starr and his perceived underrated role within The Beatles, in light of the recently released documentary by Peter Jackson called The Beatles: Get Back.
