After a week away we are BACK with a FIVE STAR RUNTIME episode. Every segment a main event in and of itself.


We kick things off with Ahmed Best, director of The Echo Theatre Company's Ascension here in Los Angeles. Best draws upon his long history with and love of theatre – he was a cast member of STOMP for years – for this production which was developed for Zoom but brought to life on stage instead.


Then we check in with our friend Scott Stein of CNET to discuss all the Meta and Metaverse news of late.


Finally, we settle in for a deep dive with investor Tipatat Chennavasin General Partner & Co-founder of The Venture Reality Fund to talk about his outlook on XR from the heart of Silicon Valley.


Plus: all-new announcements from The Next Stage Summit & Mini-Festival and a double dose of your immersive headlines.
