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.
- What Bitcoin Did – Peter McCormack
The best way to get learn about Bitcoin over time while keeping up to date with the latest game-changing events in Bitcoin history. - Stephan Livera Podcast – Stephan Livera

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.
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 – Nathaniel Whittemore
Probably the best podcast to keep up with crypto news. - Uncommon Core – Su Zhu and Hasu
One of the best podcasts for understanding how big investors are looking at the space. - The Pomp Podcast – Anthony Pompliano

My own podcast. We tackle whatever topic I’m deep-diving on at the moment.
NFTs
NFTs are one of my major passions and thus I also have a selection of podcasts focused on this topic. However, I get most of my info from Discord channels or other avenues rather than podcasts.
- NFT365 – Brian Fanzo
Great walk-through of many of the topics that beginners need to familiarise themselves with. I don’t necessarily agree with most of his project picks though. - NFTs WTF! – Jamie Burke
A deeper dive into NFTs and how they are changing finance and other sectors. - Probably Nothing – Alexis Ohanian and T Zhongg
NFT news, deep dives, and interviews. Alexis is the founder of Reddit so he brings in a lot of clout to this show.
Proof – Kevin Rose
In-depth NFT coverage with Kevin Rose, who is one of the most influential people on the web. He is the founder of Digg, for those who remember that site’s glory days. - Overpriced JPEGs – Carly Reilly

Good breakdowns on social tokens, NFTs, DAOs etc. - Future of NFT – Anonymous

Zeneca is a legend in the space. Great show to keep updated about BAYC and other big projects, but can also contain a lot of extra talk. - The Cutting Edge with gmoney – gmoney
Talks with big names in crypto. Good to know what the next big thing might be. - NFT Catcher – Jennifer Sutto and Michael Keen
Mostly news-related. I listen to it only when there is a major item that catches my attention and seems important to understand. - The First Mint
Mostly focussed on NBA Top Shot (which I’m not personally interested in) but some occasional great topics about the wider NFT space.
