The Eighth
A future-facing podcast that explores how augmented reality will show up in our everyday lives, off-screen and all around us. Each episode features everyday people (not tech insiders) grappling with how this new layer of reality could reshape the way we shop, move, learn, or just get through the day. These conversations take abstract ideas and ground them in the practical, turning sci-fi into Saturday morning.
