Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome to the long awaited third episode of What is Real podcast. We’ve found another tape lodged behind the old meat refrigerator down in the basement! This damaged tape, this recording is of Gigi. Gigi was a curious creature that we lured, er uh… invited onto our podcast. We explore the nature of reality with Gigi. Before the end, he provided very insightful dialogue to our misunderstandings with reality itself. Would you kindly listen to this podcast?
