@alexisohanian 1/ Okay, so, let's dive in.

One imp thing is that there is growing specialization based on focus, which I think you could roughly divide into:

1. Bitcoin only
2. News/Analysis
3. General Interest Interview
4. Investor/Institutional
5. Technically-oriented
6. Idea adjacent

@alexisohanian 2/ First up, we have our bitcoin-only's

@WhatBitcoinDid w @PeterMcCormack
@TFTC21 w @MartyBent @matt_odell
@stephanlivera
@BitcoinMagazine podcast

+ a number of others

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine 3/ Next, our news/analysis programs

Actually a surprisingly newer category

#TheBreakdown w me (dist on @CoinDeskPodcast)
Markets Daily w @GamerAndy on @CoinDeskPodcast
@laurashin has Unconfirmed and Unchained, w/ Unconfirmed being more of the news react pod

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin 3 cont - Actually I think @sytaylor @bchaininsider should probably be in this category as well - with a discussion style format.

Speaking of discussion, pour one out for @jillruthcarlson and @Melt_Dem WGMG, which isn't live any more but was great

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem 4/ General interest interview is the meat and potatoes of the crypto podcast market, featuring some of the best known names including

Off The Chain w @APompliano
Untold Stories w @CharlieShrem
Unqualified Opinions w @twobitidiot
@VentureCoinist

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem @APompliano @CharlieShrem @twobitidiot @VentureCoinist 4 cont - A cool tweak on this model is the "debate" style model of @POVCryptoPod which has a bitcoiner perspective host and an ETH focused host + guests

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem @APompliano @CharlieShrem @twobitidiot @VentureCoinist @POVCryptoPod 5/ Okay, next up we have the institutional/investor focused. The line between these & general interest is debatable but maybe have slightly more bias to that perspective

Baselayer w @DavidJNage
Flippening w @ClayCollins
New one from @nic__carter @MattWalshInBos

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem @APompliano @CharlieShrem @twobitidiot @VentureCoinist @POVCryptoPod @DavidJNage @ClayCollins @nic__carter @MattWalshInBos 6/ Technically oriented

The undisputed OG in this category is @epicenterbtc which has been at it for longer than anyone at this point

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem @APompliano @CharlieShrem @twobitidiot @VentureCoinist @POVCryptoPod @DavidJNage @ClayCollins @nic__carter @MattWalshInBos @epicenterbtc 7/ Finally - Idea adjacent

I.e. things that share a similar perspective or worldview starting point but are about more than crypto. Two notables here:

@DefianceCast by @PeterMcCormack
@HiddenForcesPod by @CoveringDelta

@alexisohanian @WhatBitcoinDid @PeterMcCormack @TFTC21 @MartyBent @matt_odell @stephanlivera @BitcoinMagazine @CoinDeskPodcast @GamerAndy @laurashin @sytaylor @bchaininsider @jillruthcarlson @Melt_Dem @APompliano @CharlieShrem @twobitidiot @VentureCoinist @POVCryptoPod @DavidJNage @ClayCollins @nic__carter @MattWalshInBos @epicenterbtc @DefianceCast @HiddenForcesPod @CoveringDelta 8/ One space that's definitely available in this: roundtable discussion. In general, there is a lot more room for format experimentation.
