SmeagolGetsTheRing ,

Fantastic interview and overall great bitcoin podcast

Natalie interviews her guests in a light and fun way whilst bringing out the best in each episodes. A must listen for all in the crypto and bitcoin space.

RobDav1986 ,

A very refreshing voice in the space

Started listening to Natalie’s show following her appearance on Pete’s WBD. A great interviewer who will push back on views she doesn’t agree with and doesn’t just blow smoke up her guests arse… 5 stars!

8971dan ,

Personable, interesting and bold.

Natalie is a great interviewer who allows her guests to speak. She asks the questions I want to know the answers to and appears to research the hell out of her guests. This contributes to great conversations. She never personal views to surface - the sign of a true pro.

I appreciate how she has the courage to interview some who don’t agree with our crypto view - we need these kind of conversations as we bitcoiners can tend to sit in echo chambers - the Peter Schiff episode was so important as he is often derided by prominent bitcoin commentators. Anyone in finance has to look at the alternative view.

So, I always look forward to the next episode and highly recommend this podcast.
