taoDAOcast
September 23, 2021 18:48 - 41 minutes - 25.1 MB- 'DAOcast has returned!' \(>")/ - 'But it has never gone!' (>") Yup, this seems like crazy talk. But hey, the world did flip inside-out/upside-down in 2020, so who knows who is right? The fact is that there is fresh energy orbiting DAOcast. Fresh energy springing from taoDAO - an experimental DAO framework centered around cultural patterns, as opposed to technological tools. A DAO whose purpose is the co-creation of regenerative multimedia content. Or better yet, as Vinícius puts it in t...
DEORA.earth | LeapDAO
March 19, 2020 20:26 - 59 minutes - 23.1 MBIn this episode (amidst the corona crisis) I met Max, Victor, and Johann from DEORA.earth, who shared a lot of cool things around what they are building and how they are doing it. An approach that differs from many of the things we see out there. For example, we talked about one of the first test drive they ran with their tech, collaborating with the German political party Volt and testing quadratic voting with real users, in a pretty clever way! It was nice to hear about a DAO tool being u...
Joshua Tan | Metagovernance Project
January 20, 2020 18:50 - 49 minutes - 45.9 MB“As communities grow, as they get more complicated, they need more and more complicated rule sets and mechanics to deal with the problems that inevitably arise. And what we want to do is provide a set of shared natively cross-platform tools that allow people to plug and play different kinds of social and computational mechanisms.” In today's episode, we receive the computer scientist & Governance Crusader Joshua Tan, from the Metagovernance Project. In a very friendly chat, we explore a bit...
Will Harborne | DeversiFi | NecDAO

DAO to 🌍 | 2 | Patrick Rawson
October 16, 2019 15:50 - 59 minutes - 83.7 MB“If you think about it, every DAO can be its own bank. Every DAO can behave as a community credit union, or as an insurance collective of some sort.” The second episode of the “DAO to Earth” series is on! This time, we receive Patrick Rawson, DAOstack’s Communications Director, for a chat about the historical development of DAOstack’s first DAO, and what is coming next with Genesis 1.0.

Luis Cuede | Aragon
October 13, 2019 15:56 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB“Because I think, today, a lot of the uncertainty around DAOs is that they cannot grow out of their code in their smart contract. And smart contracts don’t know about all human subtleties.” DAOcast finally features Aragon! We received Luis Cuende, CEO of Aragon One and cofounder of the Aragon Project. We took the time to understand how Luis first got involved with blockchain and the DAO space, going back to his connections to the open source movement. His trajectory took us from the Spanish...

Max Semenchuk | DGOV | Commons Stack | EthSignals
September 05, 2019 18:43 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB“Sometimes the biggest value is not in the central node, which has most of the connections, but with the nodes who have unique connections.” Speaking from Kiev, Ukraine, Max Semenchuk joins us to talk about his involvement with the DGOV Foundation, The Commons Stack, and, as revealed in the show, EthSignals. Being an entrepreneur, product Manager, UX designer, and Org innovator, Max arrived at the world of decentralized organizations through first-hand experience, when he could no longer t...
Auryn Macmillan | Colony
July 26, 2019 22:59 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MB“I can easily see a situation where you can have an informal relationship where, say, an Aragon DAO or a DAOstack DAO holds a pot of funds and basically trickle feed funds into a Colony.” --- In the first DAOcast episode with Colony, we are joined by Auryn to discuss the public launch of Glider, the project’s network for decentralized organizations. Auryn also shares his previous experiences with The DAO, given his engagement with that first decentralized experimentation through the cre...
P2PTALK | Wise Playgrounds | John Kellden & peers
July 03, 2019 18:31 - 2 hours - 136 MBDAOcast is an open platform for the investigation of the emerging fields of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and Distributed Organizing. In that spirit, it welcomes the conversations happening around these topics in other cyber-spaces, as it is with this "P2PTALK" that took place in the E2GLATS ecosystem. In the conversation, we have John Kellden and his bold effort to co-create with me, you, and another 300k people worldwide a decentralized autonomous organization (#DAO), capable o...
Michael Zargham | Blockscience | Commons Stack

Raymond D. Powell | CoGov | Holochain
April 10, 2019 10:39 - 42 minutes - 39.5 MBTo quick off the second season of DAOcast with max (holo)fuel, we receive Ray Powell, a long time decentralization enthusiast and one of the early developers of Holochain. In this conversation he introduces the fruit of his current work: Cogov, a distributed governance protocol built on top of Holochain. Such a protocol enables very exciting possibilities for self-organization at different scales, specially because of the agent-centric design properties of Holochain. Of course, we go deeper...
DAOcast is back! 🎙️🎇
April 01, 2019 17:58 - 21 minutes - 20.2 MBNo jokes! 🎙️🎇 Come check the “Intro Catch-up” between Stratis and I (Danilo) on the “State of the DAO(cast)”. There are a couple of experimental (and to me exciting) changes to the show this “season”, and we talk about that here 😃 https://daocast.io/Season2Intro This time I will at least try to reach out to other perspectives, and I'd be very happy if DAOcast could function as a platform for other people in "their quest" to understanding whatever a DAO is (or is not/can/ can not/ ma...
Episode 9 - Felipe Duarte
December 26, 2018 18:49 - 38 minutes - 35.8 MB> “I think DAOs are attempts at more distributed than centralized organizations. And we need to create a language that can conceive of a spectrum. And we need to create sort of distribution KPIs or distribution perception indexes.” The last episode of Season 1 is here, and in the Christmas spirit, it brings a gift with it. DAOcast is opening itself up to co-creation. If you're interested, listen to this episode to understand the full context and get in touch ;) As a painting teacher, facil...
Episode 8 - That should be us (but I'm here to contribute) with Jossbot
December 12, 2018 17:29 - 47 minutes - 44.4 MB> “I don’t know what the DAO is because I don’t see it yet, but my hope is that it will be something that helps us to find the answers here and now, instead of thinking that we will find it elsewhere.” In what is perhaps the craziest and most creative episode of DAOcast, we received the artist and aspiring "DAOpsychic for Imagination Support" Jossbot, which has also become a partner of DAOcast, creator of the imagery used by the show through [KATTFANTASTISKT](http://kattfantastiskt.world/). ...

Episode 6 - Pedro Parrachia
November 29, 2018 16:13 - 58 minutes - 54.5 MB“When you look at the Bitcoin's blockchain network, you'll see that with some very strict rules, not really complicated, we were able to bootstrap the most secure digital network nowadays. Or at least the most expensive one to attack. And with DAOs we are aiming at transcribing that into the governance level.” A self-proclaimed digital nomad and citizen scientist conducting research and development with digital infrastructure for the public good. Not only for the cyber space, but also for pu...
Episode 5 - Lucas Tauil de Freitas
November 21, 2018 16:01 - 1 hour - 61.5 MB> “I feel we’ll the see the creation of guilds, of circles of trust inside the DAOs, pretty much as we have political parties and NGOs on society. So people will create their circles of trust and support one another." What does sailing have to do with decentralized governance and participative culture? It's difficult to say, but one may argue that Lucas' life is the answer to that question. While at the top of his career as a journalist in Brazil, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, which...
Episode 4 - Cem F Dagdelen
November 14, 2018 15:00 - 38 minutes - 35.9 MB"And I think this is a kind of DAO fantasy, like termites building their house. That is something that really makes me optimistic about it (Genesis)." Cem's had only one job in his life, which was enough for him to experience the inefficiencies of hierarchical structures in investment banking. So he decided to find not another job, but rather a life passion. And that is how he came across the field of decentralized governance, later co-founding the consultancy Horatii Partners (http://www.ho...
Episode 3 - Ezra Weller
November 07, 2018 18:12 - 26 minutes - 24.9 MB> “What’s gonna happen after we leave? It’d be nice to give the guardianship of the project to the community at large somehow. That feels like one the best ways to make sure that the mission of the project continues in the spirit that represents the community.” Coming from an unusual background in the crypto-community (music), Ezra brings fresh perspectives into the world of DAOs. His business, Groupmuse (https://www.groupmuse.com/), has taken him down the path of decentralized governance to...
Episode 2 - Ben Visser
October 31, 2018 16:00 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MB"The thing that we envisioned, which is made possible by what I believe a DAO can do, that was not possible yet." Ben Visser is a researcher at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at TU Delft, specializing in Construction Management. During his attempts to catalyze a hydrogen-based tech ecosystem, he's stumbled upon the cultural and bureaucratic barriers currently hindering large scale systemic collaboration. He sees blockchain technology and DAOs as solutions to these challenges and hopes to ...
Episode 1 - Theodor Beutel
October 24, 2018 13:07 - 46 minutes - 43.2 MB“If you then have this thought of open source and forks, where you can just fork a project if you don’t really agree with certain details, that’s something people are not really aware of, really not familiar with. So this whole line of thinking requires quite a change.” For years, Theodor Beutel (or Theo), has been conducting academic investigations in the fields of social sciences and business. In trying to understand the next steps of the firm, he came across blockchain technology and DAOs...
