It’s podcast weekend! Yesterday I recorded an hour with Keyword: Crypto — and it’s already up!
It’s in the well-known podcast genre “three blokes rambling in the presence of a microphone.” Starting off with me and the book, and getting more into the problems with crypto and the space. We cut it off at an hour, ‘cos no-one’s got time for more than that.
(If the player app isn’t convenient, here’s the direct download for the mp3.)
I also recorded a “What Is Crypto?” podcast this afternoon with Michael Nye — just a quick 20-minute thing — that should be out early November.
