WUNC’s “The State of Things’ Embodied: How Online Gaming Creates Real-Life Love”
I appeared as a recent guest on WUNC’s “The State of Things” radio show and podcast, titled “Embodied: How Online Gaming Creates Real-Life Love”. During this episode, I discussed how early location-based mobile games created hybrid spaces–that is, a space that merges the boundaries between the digital and physical world. Additionally, I discussed more recent mobile games and their potential to encourage sociability, promote bonding, and deepen our relationship with the world around us.
