Hi, I’m Player Zero and welcome to the Metaverse. I was part of a Virtual Reality gaming experiment that’s gone horribly wrong and I’ve been pulled inside the game.

A long-running comedy interviews podcast — guests step into the Metaverse premise, Player Zero hosts. The framing is the joke, the conversations are the show.

What it is

  • Comedy interviews format, with the Metaverse-VR-experiment backstory as a running gag that opens every episode.
  • Distributed on Apple Podcasts (plus the other usual directories via RSS).
  • Domain hub at playerzero.live, redirect-to-Apple at zeropodcast.com.

Why this exists

Because “podcast with a bit” is a vastly more durable interview format than “two guys talking about their friends” — the conceit gives guests something to react to instead of starting cold, and the audio cues + running gags make episodes findable even years later.
