Hello and welcome to Danny in the Valley, your weekly dispatch from deep inside the Silicon Valley

Future Machine. We have a good one for you this week. I have taken a deep dive into the truly

fascinating world of e-sports. Now, if you're a gamer, you may know much of what is about to unfold,

but don't get an attitude. We're a very broad church here at Danny in the Valley, and to many of the listeners,

they'll find this quite revelatory.

If you do happen to be one of those in the know, you'll still have a good time, and you'll

probably learn a few things as well.

So just relax, enjoy.

And one more thing before we get going, I need your help.

Later this month, we'll be having none other

than Sir Richard Branson on the pod, the bearded one himself, who, if you didn't know, has loads of

investments in the tech world, from test tube meatball makers to rocket ships and everything in between.

So we're going to have them on. We're going to talk about all that stuff and a whole lot more.

And for the interview, I'd like to do a bit of a mailbag thing

where I fire a few of questions at him from you guys.

So what do you want to know?

I'll pick out a bunch of the best, then mix them in. You can email me at danny.fortson, F-O-R-T-S-O-N, at Sunday-Times.com.

Or find me on Twitter at Danny Fortson, DM me or tweet at me, whatever. It should be a lot of fun,

but we digress. That is enough of the housekeeping. We have important matters to attend to, which we will get to on today's show right now.

It's game on.

Yo, technology.

What is it all about?
