In this first episode of the podcast, Scott Rettberg is joined by his co-director and partner Jill Walker Rettberg. They talk about what has inspired them over the years to start this research Center of Excellence, the concept of "algorithmic narrativity," and some of the research that the Center will focus on including digital narratives in electronic literature, computer games, social media, computational narrative systems, AI, XR and more.
