Glitched: A VR Talk Show Set in Virtual Reality

Glitched is a talk show that originally started in AltspaceVR, and then moved to High Fidelity:

Glitched is a VR talk show in VR. The show was created by Eugene Capon in early 2016 as a product for AltspaceVR. Radio DJ Topher Welsh was brought on as a co-host during the first season. When Altspace shut down in August of 2017 the show became available for other opportunities. High Fidelity VR ordered a 6 episode run funding a second season and making Glitched the first VR talk show to be ordered like a TV show. The show has featured a variety of guests including VR industry professionals, VR game designers and well known Internet personalities.

All of their episodes (20 in total) are available to watch on YouTube. Here’s a highlight reel from season 2 of the show:

 

Conundrums: A Talk Show in Facebook Spaces

Andrew (my producer for our upcoming news show Metaverse Newscast) has alerted me to a talk show series filmed inside Facebook Spaces, created by Slate, called Conundrums:

In Conundrums, Slate’s live talk show in virtual reality, host Lindsey Weber takes celebrity guests on a surreal trip down memory lane. Using Facebook Spaces, the company’s new VR platform, Weber travels the world with guests from inside our studio, including trips to their home countries, their favorite beaches, and sometimes, even into space.

They seem to have stopped production after only 9 episodes, the last one dated December 2017. Even though I hate Facebook Spaces as a platform,  even I have to admit that Facebook Spaces works pretty well for this talk show format.
