Back Pocket

Show Notes

Ruby is joined by software engineer, Back Pocket regular, and YouTuber Nick "Nicrotex" Belling to talk about all things ARG (alternate reality games) and immersive theatre. It's basically like video games but in real life, but also it's not really real life. It's like... fake life.
