Dropping at brunch time this Sunday, Feb 22: Sunday Brunch with guest host @Aaron of Essex and his guest, @Longy 👀

No live stream this week – the episode will be available on your favorite podcasting 2.0 app and features Longy's two newest songs - Hamlet Court Road, and You Say You're a Warrior. He shares his thoughts on both of those songs as well as a few others

Say WoT? – Ep. 3 is live 🔧🕸️🤝

Guest host @david sits down with Matthias DeBernardini for a deep technical convo on Web-of-Trust and the real question underneath it: how do we build decentralized recommendation and discovery without recreating Big Tech incentives?

They get into:
• why “decentralized labeling” often recentralizes anyway
• graph theory + “grapevine” WoT as a human-scaled curation layer
• where local models actually make sense (narrow tasks, personal assistants, fine-tuning)
• the signal-to-noise problem as an incentives problem
• the escape hatch: user control, delegated trust, opt-out, better tools

If you’re building on Nostr and care about ranking, moderation, discovery, or AI-assisted filtering … this one’s for you.

New Plebchain Radio is live 🥛⚡️🧵

Episode 151 is with Ryan Cooper from @Bitcoin Ranch , and it’s all about building the New Silk Roads without empire: local trade, real food, and community that actually moves goods.

We talk:
– getting “pandemic orange-pilled” on fragile supply chains
– the “milk route” mentality: supporting farmers directly and rebuilding local markets
– the Denim Road vision: trade corridors connecting meetups, producers, and households

… and more

If you want a parallel economy you can taste and touch, this one’s for you.

Sunday Brunch episode 6 is live ☕️⚡️🎶

Guest host @OpenMike was in the driver’s seat with @Tatum Turn Up for a laid-back hang that somehow covered: orange-pilling, creator life, V4V media, streaming wars, and gamer-brain chaos (Kaizo SMW romhacks included).

They got into:
– how Tatum went from Pomp’s “crypto academy” to filming with Pomp (internet destiny vibes)
– the origin + momentum of Between Two ASICs
– why Value-for-Value + live events feel like a better patron model than legacy platforms
– Twitch incentives vs zap.stream creator loops
– IRL Nostr magic, micro-Nostrica moments, and festival energy (WhatFest, etc.)

Listen in! 🎧⚡️

Always a pleasure catching up with @Daniel Prince

(And to the ones who cry and whinge about it instead, I suspect my greeting will be pointless. You’ve made your choice for the morning’s demeanour 😉)

GM,

Especially to the ones who are able to channel their frustration with their current situation, whatever that might be, into constructive action.

You are appreciated 🙏

New Plebchain Radio is live 🌱⚡️🕸️
Ep. 150 is a dirt-under-the-fingernails conversation with @AU9913 from the Meshtadel world: regenerative farming, circular Bitcoin economies, and building resilience from the base layer up.
We get into:
– why soil is the original protocol (and what “regeneration” actually looks like on the ground)
– management-intensive rotational grazing with sheep, pigs, and cattle
– closing loops: manure, biodiversity, low-input systems, and the return of the tiny allies (yes, dung beetles)
– meetups as trade nodes: raw milk, honey, meats, soaps, salsa, 3D-printed goods, and sats changing hands
– the big vision: regional “Silk Roads” connecting cities and communities into real commerce beyond the platforms

Nostr: the last resort of the pathologically optimistic
