The Bitcoin Podcast Network is one of the oldest crypto podcasts. The Bitcoin Podcast was established in 2015 and put out its first episode on June 1, 2015. Today I host it with Corey Petty and Demetrick “Dee” Ferguson.
My roles
- Co-host since April 2018, starting with Just the Headers #1. The network lists me as a host of The Bitcoin Podcast, Hashing It Out, and Just the Headers.
- Part-owner since 2020. The network lists me as one of its three owners, with Corey and Dee.
- On the mic. My name is on 130 episodes in The Bitcoin Podcast feed, starting with Just the Headers #1 in April 2018: 48 Just the Headers, 65 episodes of The Bitcoin Podcast and its other shows, and 17 Hashing It Out episodes that also ran in the feed.
The shows
- The Bitcoin Podcast: the network’s flagship show. Season 1 ran as a regular show until episode #400 in November 2022. Season 2 started in April 2025, and I’m one of its three hosts.
- Hashing It Out: a technical show where founders come on and go deep on what they’ve built. It started in April 2018 as a new show on the network and joined the Logos Collective in May 2023. I joined as a co-host in August 2022, after the original hosts moved on and Corey stayed. It shares ownership with The Bitcoin Podcast but remains its own show. It’s still running, though new episodes come out on an irregular schedule.
- Just the Headers: a weekly crypto headline show I co-hosted with Dee, from April 2018 to October 2019 (episode #72).
