This week on the show we’re joined by long time friend of the show Brent Bushnell — co-founder of Two Bit Circus, scion of the famed Bushnell family, and one of the earliest subscribers to the No Proscenium newsletter — who is here to talk about a new venture he is a co-founder of along with Aidan Wolf and Kevin Habich — DeamPark which turns mixed reality headsets into a configurable virtual theme park — transforming public spaces into ticketed playgrounds filled with dynamic virtual characters and which recently raised over a million in seed funding.

First: our good friend Monica Miklas joins us to talk about a career arc that has taken her from indie work at the Hollywood Fringe Festival to being a senior manager of creative direction at RWS Entertainment, one of the biggest themed entertainment companies in the world, working on everything from haunts to cruise ships.
