S3 E10 | The Evolution of Media w/Steph Alinsug

Collectors of this episode will be able to nominate guests for Season 7 of the podcast starting in January 2024. In this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Steph Alinsug, Media Steward at Seed Club - an accelerator program for DAOs and DAO builders. When Steph first heard about crypto from a podcast, the concept of DAOs and social tokens clicked for her right away. With previous careers as a branding specialist and a community organizer, she was always looking for a way to bring those two passions together. Web3 offered an opportunity to do just that. Steph’s community-first branding approach lent itself nicely to her role at Seed Club, and she realized that the content she was creating wasn’t just content for the sake of marketing, but media that leveraged storytelling and community building to impact people with aligned values. This key difference is precisely what distinguishes content as we know it in web2 from the decentralized media of web3. We dive into all of the nuances surrounding content, branding, marketing, media, decentralized media, web3 media, media in DAOs, and decentralized content creation. Although we use some of these terms interchangeably, Steph breaks down how she distinctly thinks about them, and we discuss Rafa’s project Folklore - a leading example of community first media. We double click on the human side of all of this as we discuss the inevitable hierarchy in DAOs, how media DAOs can progressively decentralize, ownership over the media you create, and the role curation plays in the decentralization of media. We also talk more broadly about conflict resolution and how imperative human to human relationships are as we explore new ways to organize ourselves and produce meaningful work in DAOs. We close out our conversation with a few fun questions and Steph tells us how to find her and Seed Club on Twitter.

S3 E2 | Non-Financial Use Cases for Tokens w/David Phelps

Collectors of this episode will be able to nominate guests for Season 7 of the podcast starting in January 2024. On this Episode of Rehash, we sat down with David Phelps. On top of being the founder of JokeDAO and an investor at Cowfund, David is also a writer, thinker, and talented shitposter. Contrary to what his boyish looks might suggest, David is a boomer who spent his prior life in the web2 and education spaces. After starting a tutoring agency that gave tutors a much larger slice of the revenue pie, David found his way into the web3 DAO space. Today, he continues to focus on projects that give creators and users the ownership and compensation that they deserve. JokeDAO is an on-chain governance platform used by web3 projects (including Rehash!) to create and run contests in a fair, decentralized manner. In the short time since it popped up, JokeDAO has been used by other creators like Packy McCormick and organizations like Tally and Jukebox to give their communities a stronger voice in what they’re making. As someone who spends much of his time thinking about and working on governance, David brings us on a deep dive into its nuances. We discuss the role of tokens in voting and online communities, why governance should be chaotic, and some of the unique challenges JokeDAO has faced. David also tells us about the intricate ways that JokeDAO could be used to create more community-aligned proposals and decisions. Aside from governance, David explains the potential of blockchains and projects like Cosmos and Celestia, gives his bullish argument for web3, and breaks down what he looks for when investing in the space. For good measure, we also make plenty of cow jokes, we take a look at the line between governance and moderation, David shills Cosmos, and he explains why beavers (real ones, not from cartoons) should be the official symbol of JokeDAO.
