Ep. 1 - Introducing the Podscast
Welcome to The Podscast - where we explore the emergence of onchain media and the people building it. The first episode is a bit different than usual. It's a solo recording explaining why we're launching the Podscast and the reason for onchain media. This is a canonical episode that we hope to revisit on a recurring basis, challenging and updating the thesis for onchain media. Every episode of The Podscast will be available onchain. We'll continuously look to experiment with different ways to engage with our audience. Strap in and enjoy.

Alex Masmej Talks $DEGEN: Fueling Drakula's Growth and the Onchain Creator Economy
Join us in this episode as we sit down with Alex Masmej, the brain behind Drakula and a key player in the farcaster ecosystem. From his early days of conceptualizing Showtime as the 'Instagram of NFTs' to pioneering Drakula, Alex's journey is nothing short of remarkable. Drakula, now making waves as the 'TikTok of Web3', has seen an explosive start with over $30M in transactions in just two weeks, introducing a new and engaging way for fans to support video creators. Alex returns to the podcast to share the lessons learned from pivoting Showtime to creating Drakula, highlighting the strategic moves, go-to-market strategy, and the decision to adopt $DEGEN as the native currency of the app. I hope you enjoy our conversation and our genesis episode on Pods!
