About this listen

 Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is where the digital world steps off the timeline and into real life, inviting listeners to think less about specs and more about what technology is doing to our everyday experience. In an era when AI, mixed reality, and streaming shape how we connect, this show centers the human questions behind the code: how we live with tech, how we push it forward, and how we keep our values intact along the way.

Recent conversations around live streaming and in‑person tech events show why this kind of discussion matters. The Times of India recently reported on prominent IRL streamer CDawgVA, who criticized the shift from respectful, exploratory streaming to intrusive public filming, calling out creators who turn unsuspecting bystanders into content without consent. His comments reignited a wider debate about harassment, privacy, and responsibility in always‑on digital spaces, proving that the ethics of “going live” are no longer a niche concern but a mainstream cultural fault line.

At the same time, technologists and creatives are racing to make digital experiences more communal and embodied. LAist has highlighted the rise of IRL Movie Club, a nonprofit that partners with theaters to bring people together around documentary screenings, reviving moviegoing as a shared experience instead of a solitary scroll. In esports, SportsTravel Magazine notes that live tournaments are increasingly designed as “beyond the screen” fan experiences, where communities that formed online finally meet face‑to‑face, surrounded by immersive production, interactive zones, and real‑world play.

Across arts and culture, outlets like the San Francisco Chronicle have pointed out that AI and immersive tech dominated 2025’s creative landscape, from virtual performers to experimental installations. The question is no longer whether these tools will shape our lives, but how intentionally we will shape them in return.

Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk sits at the intersection of these shifts, giving listeners a space to unpack the latest headlines, interrogate the trade‑offs, and imagine better ways to blend online and offline life.
