  • MAGA sympathizers

    I’ve listened since day 1. This used to be great and informative and I attribute a lot of my blockchain learnings to this show. Unfortunately the show has devolved into MAGA sympathizing, scam promotions and the like. Shameful how far they’ve fallen, David, especially. They’ll still have periodic great interviews with Vitalik, Justin Drake, et al, but that has become the exception so I’ll just check in for those periodically and stop following each episode.

  • Engaging and thoughtful hosts

    The two hosts are attentive and very well spoken when presented complimentary dialogue to the discussion. It’s good listening when the topic is of interest. Some topics go deep into the weeds without background explanations…but then again they’d be explaining in every episode. Overall a great podcast
