On the Brains Byte Back Podcast…

With over 100 million copies sold, Call of Duty is easily one of the most recognizable game franchises in history, but for co-founder Chance Glasco, this is just one of many achievements in his long career in the tech industry.

Listen to this podcast below and on SpotifyAnchorApple PodcastsBreakerGoogle PodcastsOvercast, and Radio Public.

In this episode, we discuss how he and his fellow co-founders created the franchise, his motivation to move to Brazil and start his own VR company, Doghead Simulations, and how he is using VR to help victims of human trafficking.

And for our Weird Wide Web piece, we have a story from the BBC about a pledge from the UK’s Labour party to give every home and business in the UK free full-fiber broadband by 2030, if it wins the general election.
