What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs we told you earlier, Fast Company says Gen Z is lore-tripping, vacationing inside a story. Dr. Byte, what's the update?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFast Company's piece is still the only source, Hank.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo I'm adding my own theory: the lore is a timeshare pitch with a wizard in it.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a very specific accusation. Do you have a second story?
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYes. The Point Park Globe calls Experimental Guitar Night, quote, good and weird. That's the whole review. Two adjectives.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGood and weird. That's also my portfolio's Yelp rating. Thank you, Nina.
