About this episode

Las Vegas added another attraction to its list in The Sphere, a $2.3B LED screen orb. This orb has been putting on performances since 2023 and continues to try and reshape the live entertainment space. So is The Sphere the future or live entertainment? And are these expensive events taking over? Plus: Ikea is getting in on Roblox and the US sees thousands of jobs added amid high unemployment.


Join our host Jon Weidell, for an in-depth conversation with Carly Baker.
