Ghost in the System: Attending Neo2025 in Spirit w/ Network 42

What this episode covers

Immersive events have really taken off in the last decade. Building on events like Renaissance fairs, L.A.R.P.s, and other themed festivals, Wasteland Weekend and now Neotropolis (along with several others inspired by them) are costumes-mandatory festivals with fully themed areas where no-one looks out of place.  You can choose to be in character or just be yourself, but either way - you're in it! Bridger Farlander has been attending Wasteland Weekend (Yearly in September) for almost a decade, but is not able to attend Neotropolis (yearly in April) due to work constraints, but that doesn't stop him from getting in on the immersion.  He's created Network 42 - a cyber-punk inspired news network that's broadcasting from "back on Earth" in middle Tennessee.  Find out how it works and how you can get involved.   FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553014967306 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Network42FortyTwo   If you dig this channel and think I've earned your support, please consider joining my Patreon where you'll get early access to every video and be able to join the Patch of the Month Club ($10+ tiers). www.patreon.com/theapocalypsepost
