There Was A Live Podcast Event On Fortnite? Yeah, And It Was Awesome

Fortnite, it’s more than just a battle royale game that dominated the gaming world in 2017, it's now one of the most successful branches of the metaverse with thousands of custom islands where players can do anything, including attend live podcast events.

Players who landed in iHeartLand over the weekend were treated to an interactive performance by The Trap Nerds Podcast. Dre, Eli, Tony, and Exavier took over the massive screen at the center of State Farm Park for the first iHeartPodcasts LIVE in Fortnite.

“Thank you for joining us on this beautiful day in State Farm Park,” said Exavier. “We appreciate everyone.”

Along with the metaverse exclusive episode, the hosts also treated players to a trivia game of “How Fan Are You?” Throughout the podcast, one of the trap nerds would stop and ask fans a multiple-choice question about the show. Players answered by jumping on a square, (either A,B,C,or D) but if they answered incorrectly they were thrown into the air.

One of the unique things about iHeartLand is that it allows players to explore the island and play mini games designed by Atlas Creative while still being able to listen to the podcast. Dre, Eli, Tony, and Exavier could be found on smaller TV screens spread throughout the virtual world. Racing a friend? Trying out the parkour course? The Trap Nerds Podcast was along for the ride.

The podcast event may be over, but it will not be our last. Make sure to follow iHeartPodcasts on all social media channels to see when the next event is announced.
