For our fourth session in the 10 Years of Ethereum celebration, we sat down with Lucas Campbell (CEO) and Dan Simmons (CTO) of Pods Media — a team on a mission to revolutionize podcasting through Ethereum.
Hosted by Chinmay Patel (@chinmaydoteth) and Marvyn Paul (@mpweb3wordsmith), the conversation explored how Pods is using onchain tools to solve podcasting’s 20-year innovation gap.
What we covered:
- The birth of Pods Media out of a Bankless experiment
- Why they chose Base as their foundation
- The “upload once, publish everywhere” model
- Real onchain distribution via Farcaster Frames
- Building meaningful social graphs for creators
- What works (and doesn’t) in consumer crypto UX
- The future of creator monetization — beyond ads
This episode is packed with insight for anyone building in Web3, media, or the creator economy.
