Richard & Florcy of Spooky Fresh [Creators]
January 20, 2022 16:38 - 1 hour - 59.5 MBSpooky Fresh is not your average NFT project. It has layers of depth that most projects skip over.

OwlThor [Creator]

November 11, 2021 16:00 - 1 hour - 90.7 MBGaper shares his incredible story on how creating a physical punk derivative out of spare computer parts lead him to make a super-limited NFT collection called Chiptos. Chiptos may resemble punks but there is so much heart and creativity behind them than other punk spin-offs.

November 02, 2021 16:24 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBJO7 and I met in our early days of NFTs. We were actually each other's first 1-to-1 trade done entirely on trust. From there, we shared projects and artists with one another that we liked and grew a lasting friendship. Over the past year, JO7 has become a powerful voice in the NFT space. Often highlighting projects and artists that are making powerful statements rather than the next 10k profile picture project. He built his digital gallery, JO7.Gallery, in Cryptovoxels and began hol...

Lunar Token [Creator]
October 22, 2021 15:45 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MBNFTs are the hot topic of 2021, but NFT archeologists have found projects dating back to 2017 and earlier. 2017 is a famous year for NFTs because that is when CryptoPunks was originally released. Lunar Token Moon Plots were also released in 2017 and I had the honor of interviewing the creator of that project, Lunar, to chat about what it was like to build this historic project. With only 400 Moon Plots available, this project is unique in its limited supply compared to the current s...

October 19, 2021 16:28 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBEvantan is a fascinating collector. Someone who has been around the block and learned how to balance being a dad and being incredibly profitable in NFTs.
