Customer Reviews
Quickly becoming one of my favourites
I’m loving this meandering and fascinating look at the crypto world. I’m not a tech person at all but the way PJ weaves a story is so engaging. I highly recommend.
Everything that’s been missing for my feed
It’s so good to have pj back on podcasts. Reply all has been missing his journalism and stories. He has a fantastic way off telling stories and his laugh always makes me smile. Hopefully this podcast gets the traction it deserves!!!

Unfortunately, this podcast provides the answer to whether PJ is a good presenter or a creative talent. While I love his style, this show is all over the shop. No clear narrative or connective tissue makes this series feel like a meandering vanity project. It’s a shame, because the opening episode was promising.
