Whether you’re just getting started in Virtual Reality (VR) or you’re a VR O.G., these Podcasts will keep your day full of VR Knowledge.
Updated June 19, 2016: Added some Twitterverse recommendations and created a “Readers Choice” section.
Most Entertaining (and my favorite): Rev VR with the Reverend Kyle
Until recently his Podcasts were hosted on RoadtoVR.com. They have since parted ways, but he continues to produce his casts under Rev VR Studios. Here’s how you can get in touch with the Reverend:
Most Insightful: Voices of VR Podcast with Kent Bye
“What do you see as the ultimate potential of VR?”
He presents the same question at the close of every interview. Not only are the responses interesting in themselves, but he took them to another level and provided some neat analysis. During his Silicon Valley Virtual Reality (SVVR) Conference presentation, he broke down the responses using qualitative analysis that is worth a read/listen.
Kent Bye’s podcasts are syndicated by RoadtoVr.com, and you can find him here:
Most Educational: ResearchVR Podcast with Petr Legkov, Azad Balabanian, and Krzysztof Izdebski
With a healthy dose of intellect and wisdom, make sure you have your notepad ready. They might quiz you later. Here’s where you can find them:
Most Connected: The VRguy’s Podcast by Yuval Boger
His productions aren’t fancy. No fluff here, he dives right into questioning some of VR’s most influential figures.

Honorable Mention:
The VR AR Association: Definitely worth a listen and I enjoy all of their podcasts. Right now it seems like a one man organization, but as membership grows I would expect more frequent podcasts that offer increasingly useful content.
VRScout Podcast hosted by Malia Probst: I want to love this production, but it’s just a little too informal for my taste. At times very entertaining and worth checking out as it might fit your fancy. I personally only tune in every few episodes and frequently tune out after my 30 min drive only to realize I didn’t get much VR info. But don’t take my comments the wrong way, Malia and guests are very entertaining and are a formidable cast to help fill your VR day. Cut out some of the chit-chat while focusing on the topics and Malia will easily challenge the Reverend as my fav VR podcaster.
Readers Choice: List of recommendations from the Twitterverse. I’ll load these on my playlist and update with my opinion later.
LHVR (Left Handed VR) Podcast: This recommendation comes directly from Reverend Kyle (Rev VR Podcast). Since I’m left handed, I’m going to assume LHVR will quickly become a fav. I’ll be tuning in ASAP.
The Real Virtual Reality Show: Recommended by the creators of ResearchVR (or whoever controls their Twitter account). That’s good enough for me. When the bi brains talk, I listen. Definitely on my playlist.
I’m sure I missed a fantastic podcast. Leave me a comment to let me know how much I suck. Otherwise, listen and enjoy.
also you could add the researchvr sound cloud 😉
