4) CoinDesk Markets Daily
This podcast drops every day, with hosts Adam Levine and Adrian Blust giving a quick rundown on the biggest talking points in the crypto markets.
Running just 15-20 minutes in length on average, the podcast gives the overview necessary to stay abreast of developments in this fast-paced industry.
5) The Pomp Podcast
Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano drops podcasts looking into the personalities behind cryptocurrency on an ad hoc basis, meaning you never know when the next one is going to land. But whether it’s one a day or one a week, you can guarantee when it airs it will be well worth a listen.
Pomp talks to the most interesting people in business, finance, and Bitcoin getting their views on the global economy and crypto.
The good news is, these podcasts are largely timeless, and with a back catalogue of over 1,000 episodes you’re unlikely to ever not have something on the Pomp playlist you can delve into.
6) The Bad Crypto Podcast
Ignore the tongue-in-cheek name, The Bad Crypto Podcast is one of the best for providing insight into the latest crypto price movements and general news in the sector.
There are over 700 episodes to date, with the producers suggesting it is “best to start with episode #1 as this podcast is serialised”. However, it’s possible to jump right in whenever in the series and pick things up from there.
While hosts Joel Comm and Travis Wright try to keep things fun and light-heated, this podcast is best aimed at those who already invest in crypto and understand the industry.
7) The Epicenter
Epicenter is one of the oldest crypto podcasts going, with its first episode airing in 2013. Back then both Bitcoin and podcasts were still in their infancy.
The podcast interviews “crypto founders, builders, and thought leaders” about the technical, economic and social implications of crypto.
The podcasts are rebased on a weekly basis, lasting one hour for each episode, making it easy to stay up to date with the series.
8) Stephan Livera Podcast
Stephan Livera’s is a former accountant and economist. His podcast focus on getting to the crux of how crypto will change society.
Not for beginners, this podcast can be quite technical and is aimed at those with an already detailed understanding of the sector. To give you a taste, episode titles include: “Zero fee routing – post mortem on ZFR node” and “Bitcoin mini script and what it enables”.
