Summary

Hosts Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Jason Concepcion are putting on their VR headsets and stepping into the 3 Body Game. They are joined by 3 Body Problem’s VFX supervisors, Steve Kullback and Stefen Fangmeier, to discuss the creative process behind building the virtual reality game at the heart of the show. Maggie and Jason will also hear from 3 Body Problem’s science advisor, particle physicist Dr. Matthew Kenzie, as he dissects the mind-bending science we see on screen, and explains what the three-body problem theory actually is. SPOILER ALERT: We will be covering episodes 2 and 3 of the series, so if you haven’t watched that far yet, be sure to catch up on Netflix now. The 3 Body Podcast is produced by Netflix and Sony Music Entertainment.
