Customer Reviews
Five star podcast and best in tech
Citation Needed by Molly White really is the best technical podcast and I hope other shows are inspired to improve yet they will never be this. I like the depth and breadth of subjects, definition of terms and synchronization with a written newsletter which is (also) worth a subscription. Web3 Is Going Just Great is a helpful criticism of over-hyped cryptocurrency marketing and a brilliantly produced recap if that is provided in this podcast.
Finally found someone reposting on crypto scam!
I cannot believe how many reporters give this ridiculous industry a pass. Oh and by the way it is wildly entertaining - you can’t make this stuff up!
