The Best Crypto Podcasts in 2026

One of the main ways that I keep updated with all the stuff that’s happening in the crypto space is through podcasts. I also run my own podcast at Mastermind.fm.

Here are my favorites, categorized based on the majority of the topics they cover.

The Rabbit Hole

These are podcasts that are ideal for understanding the overall reasons why the crypto revolution is happening and will continue to grow in the coming years.

What is Money – Robert Breedlove
Excellent to get you started down the many rabbit holes that Bitcoin can lead you down. Will turn you into a rebel if you aren’t one already.
The Bitcoin Standard Podcast – Saifedean Ammous
A good way to learn about Austrian economics, sound money and a number of controversial topics addressed in a no-nonsense way.
On the Brink – Matt Walsh and Nic Carter
Explores the political, ethical, and economic significance of Bitcoin and other public blockchains. Very solid stuff but not for beginners.
Odd Lots – Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway
Useful for understanding the general macro environment and financial history leading to today’s issues.
Bitcoin Rapid-Fire – John Vallis
Leads you to see the world with new eyes through Bitcoin and its associated ideas.
Fed Watch – CK and Ansel Lindner
Bitcoin, Macro Economics and politics
Wake Up – Aleks Svetski
The world as seen from the eyes of a Bitcoin maximalist. Good if you want to have some of your conventional ideas challenged.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the precursor to everything else that has happened in the crypto space, and in my opinion, it is essential to understand the philosophy and principles of Bitcoin before moving to anything else. These podcasts will help you on your journey.

Stephan Livera Podcast – Stephan Livera
Deals with intermediate to advanced topics and the philosophical underpinnings of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Audible – Guy Swann
The best way to consume Bitcoin articles for those with no time to read.
Bitcoin Fixes This – Jimmy Song
A mix of Bitcoin philosophy and technical topics on how Bitcoin internals work.
Tales from the Crypt – Marty Bent
Fairly advanced Bitcoin topics ranging from the technical to the philosophical. Expect a healthy dose of maximalism.
Rabbit Hole Recap – Marty Bent and Matt Odell
Bitcoin news. For advanced Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Citadel Dispatch – Matt Odell
Hardcore Bitcoin topics, great if you’re mostly focussed on Bitcoin as a hodler.
Bit Buy Bit – Max Buybit
More hardcore Bitcoin topics. Expect anti-government vibes and controversial topics discussed. This is what makes Bitcoin special after all.
The Keyvan Davani Connection – Keyvani Davani
Bitcoin technical topics coupled with economical and political underpinnings of the Bitcoin movement.
The Peter McCormack Show – Peter McCormack
The original What Bitcoin Did ran for 860 episodes before wrapping up in August 2024. McCormack relaunched with this show in September 2024 — same host, broader canvas. Bitcoin is still the heartbeat, but the conversation now spans politics, economics, and free speech. Worth following if you were a WBD listener.

Crypto

A selection of podcasts that deal with various topics in crypto. I use these to keep abreast of all the new facets of this technology.

Unchained – Laura Shin
Covers big topics in crypto in a no-nonsense way. One of the most high-quality consistent podcasts over the past years.
Bankless
The best podcast about Ethereum and DeFi. I’m also a paying subscriber to the Bankless newsletter and community.
The Breakdown – NLW (Nathaniel Whittemore)
Daily crypto news and macro analysis from CoinDesk. One of the most consistent and well-produced daily shows in the space.
The Pomp Podcast – Anthony Pompliano
One of the biggest podcasts in the business and crypto space. Not exactly my cup of tea but I do listen to it when there’s a particular topic that really interests me and hasn’t been covered elsewhere.
The Delphi Podcast – Tom Shaughnessy and Piers Kicks
Interviews with the best brains across the digital asset industry. For intermediate to advanced listeners.
Epicenter – Various hosts
In-depth conversations about the technical, economic and social implications of crypto. Mostly intermediate to advanced topics.

Ex-DJ Scott Melker talks about important crypto topics with distinguished guests.

Advanced tokenomics discussion. Not for beginners and not for casual listening, but very interesting and unique.
