You wont believe me if I told you that your screen time is more than 5 hours per day! A study suggests that Millennials spend an average of 6.7 hours per day on at least one screen (mostly mobile) while Gen Z spends more than 7 hours per day on a screen! Compare the screen time with the need to get ahead of the others with respect to technology! In today’s technology enabled world, there is a new technology entering our mobile screens every few months and companies have found better and more immersive ways to gather our attention! Metaverse is one technological shift that is going to change the way we consume brands and their products. However, since Metaverse is in infant stage at least in India, they have already become big crowd-pullers in western countries!

In India, currently, there is a dearth on reading material on Metaverse. I visited Om Book store and many other bookstores in Delhi a few days back and on asking for Metaverse related books, I couldn’t find any! I was really disappointed. When a technology is new and there is a need to create awareness around it, the best path to follow is the long form content path, so that the consumer stays focused for a longer period of time and for better understanding. Long form content are expressed via Books, Blogs (like these), Videos or Podcasts. If you are looking to learn about concepts and happenings in metaverse without increasing your screen time, you might as well spend some time hearing podcasts on metaverse.

So, here is a compilation of 8 podcasts on metaverse that you can listen to for exploring career opportunities.
