Summary
Avi and I get deep into talking about podcasting 2.0, the kind of podcasting that is free and open. It takes Bitcoin payments peer-to-peer, which benefits indie music artists as well as podcasters who want an alternative to running ads and being stuck in Apple & Spotify. (Many want to ditch Spotify on principle now because they’ve run ads for ICE. Radio Detox isn’t on Spotify and that is my choice).

Avi has his own podcast, Plebchain Radio, that’s been using new tech from Fountain and I’ve been excited to finally talk to Avi about how that’s going.

We also discuss the recent NostrVille 3.0 event held in Nashville in October 2025 at Bitcoin Park, the evolution of Nostr, and how Avi & QW’s Plebchain Radio came to be. Avi shares insights on the importance of community, the ideological alignment among Bitcoiners, and the transition to Podcasting 2.0 with Fountain. The conversation also explores the integration of indie music into podcasts, the challenges of advertising, and the freedom of independent podcasting. Overall, the discussion highlights the vibrant and evolving intersection of the Bitcoin and podcasting communities.

We also touch on challenges and strategies for transitioning from fiat to Bitcoin. Chapters 00:00 Introd…
