Liquid Culture
Today my friend Natalie Mullins and I are officially launching a podcast called Liquid Culture. It will focus on the intersection of crypto, culture, and creative industries, and it’s a production of the Seed Club Media Network.
The inspiration for this was pretty simple. We both realized that there really isn’t a lot of media out there that we like listening to ourselves, both about crypto in general and specifically about the intersection of crypto and culture. So, we figured we would make our own podcast in this niche.
In short, what we’re going to do is talk to founders and creatives across art, fashion, gaming, music, social and more, with a focus on how these industries are being changed by blockchains. We’ll be releasing episodes twice monthly (ish), and each show will run for 45-60 minutes.
The target audience we have in mind is people working and playing in the crypto industry (as well as folks in tech). The tone we’re aiming for is more expert-oriented but casual, so less like a founder interview and more like us hanging out and exploring different themes & topics with cool guests that come through.
Now, the name ‘Liquid Culture’ comes from this idea that blockchains have taken culture as an asset class and made it liquid, whether that’s via digital art, JPEGs of monkeys, cat memecoins, gaming items, or whatever else. While these categories are nascent, both Nat and I are convinced that blockchains are an important tool in changing how culture is created and consumed over the internet, and we’re stoked to have conversations connected to that as a theme.
Please check out the podcast on Spotify here, subscribe, and if you’re up for it please give us a friendly review! We did a little introduction episode which has some more background on Nat and I and why we’re excited about doing this together. The first interview episode is live as well where we hang out with with my friend Derek Edwards who is a partner at Collab + Currency. And we have several other episodes recorded that I am HYPED to share with the world.
Finally, to commemorate the launch, we have a GIF of our podcast logo that is available to mint for free over the next 7 days, you can find that here. For future updates please follow us on Twitter and join our Farcaster channel as well.
Thank you to the Seed Club team for making all of this possible.
