  • Best technical podcast in the space

    I consistently listen to ~8 podcasts in the cryptocurrency space, and this one remains the best for anyone with a computer science background. I think the more-accessible news-covering space has become over saturated and this podcast’s a breath of fresh air for the ones who wanna go deeper. Always worth the time

  • The best technical crypto podcast

    This is by far my favorite crypto podcast, and is also on my top 5 podcast list overall.

    I always learn somethmake knew listening to these episodes, and it often translates into topics I can research at work or in my spare time. The conversations don’t gloss over details, but are also accessible to those who might not have background in some subject matter

    Anna Rose and her team make the podcasts easy to listen to fun, educational and engaging all at the same time. I love how some episodes and... more
