The Breakdown: Great content and information

NLW does a great job of blending macro market information with Bitcoin and other crypto related news events. He presents one of the best non-bias podcasts to these complicated topics and keeps the viewers wanting to learn more. I appreciate all of NLW’s hard work and dedication to his craft!

Best bitcoin / macro podcast out there.

NLW has the right formula for a bitcoin / macro podcast. The episodes are the perfect length for those with short attention spans, the news and analyses are neutral and unbiased and the content boils it down to the most important points. I listen to this pod daily. Give him a listen!
