Why should you consider Podcasts?

‍

Part of the reason for the rapid growth in podcasting is that they stimulate a different part of your brain. This allows you to learn faster than when reading text. Especially when it's a topic that you are interested in, you’ll find these conversations are quite engaging.

‍

It’s no wonder hosts who deliver value in their episodes often end up building a great community of followers.

‍

Podcasting in Crypto, NFTs, and Web3

‍

With +/- 66 million episodes to choose from - you may find it a little overwhelming to know where to start. Fortunately, you are able to zoom in on a specific niche.

‍

Even looking just within the crypto podcast space - you still have thousands of options.

‍

As a crypto enthusiast, it’s a great way to dive into the rapidly changing industry of non-fungible tokens and crypto assets - or stay up to date with the latest NFT marketplace news.

‍

And it’s all about you!

‍

With the key success factor of Web3 being community engagement - it's no wonder that a search on platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts will deliver a whole host of results. Podcasters are building the type of content you want to hear.

‍

You’ll find NFT (non-fungible token) podcasts, crypto podcasts, and a whole host of episodes discussing other projects - including cryptocurrency investment strategies and technical aspects of the NFT space. It’s an amazing resource for our community.

‍
