Before Mark Zuckerberg told the world he was turning Facebook into a Metaverse company, he called Matthew Ball, one of the Metaverse’s chief evangelists. Now Ball tells Recode’s Peter Kafka what Facebook’s move means.

Then Bloomberg Media Group CEO Justin Smith talks about building a $100 million business that’s separate - but related to - Bloomberg’s much larger terminal business. And why he loves subscriptions and video - but not podcasts.

Featuring: Matthew Ball (@ballmatthew), writer and Venture Capitalist
