Post-Rizzlefest Vibe Check
April 26, 2023 21:15 - 43 minutes - 59.6 MBThe crew (and BIG shout-out to "the crew") is back from camp in Nashville, TN for the first ever Rizzlefest. And what an experience it was. Rizzle and Matthew recount some of their most memorable moments from the trip and run their mouths on some other interesting bits (as they always do). Whether you were at Rizzlefest and want to travel back to last week and relive some of the highlights from your experience or you couldn't make the trek out and just want to get a tldr of what went on, c...
From NFT.NYC to RIZZLEFEST
April 19, 2023 22:28 - 35 minutes - 48.5 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle recap NFT.NYC which was overall quite enjoyable. As many others have noted, the vibes were more akin to NFT.NYC circa 2020 than 2021 or 2022 in the sense that events dialed down the glitz and gaudiness (to near zero in many cases) which allowed for the people - artists, creators, builders and collectors - to really be the stars of the show. The best part of NFT.NYC week was definitely the pilgrimage to the MOCA Church organized by Colborn and the exceptional team...
One doesn't simply leave NFT land, one just needs to find their cadence
April 05, 2023 23:13 - 42 minutes - 58.5 MBSince it's the week before NFT NYC Rizzle and I kick off this week's episode talking about the virtues of NOT going to the main conference, but instead hitting up smaller satellite meetups and gathering [side note: while Rizzle won't be in NYC next week I (niftytime) will be, so shoot me a DM on twitter if you'd like to trya and link up]. After that we dive into the latest kerfuffle with artists (and other folks) announcing their departures or breaks from the crypto ecosystem. There is a l...
[Spotlight] Staying Stabby with artist WoodenCyclops
April 04, 2023 23:02 - 23 minutes - 18.8 MBFor my latest Spotlight Interview, I had the opportunity to connect with the Portland-based artist WoodenCyclops aka Wesley James. Early on in life Wooden caught the artistic bug inspired in part by the comic art featured in Mad Magazine, Cracked Magazine, and Garbage Pail Kids, as well as by artists like Ralph Steadman and other low-brow 1970's vintage aesthetic art. He's been creating art professionally for over 20 years and started minting his digital art in 2021. We talk about the gen...
Rizzle for CEO of Cryptovoxels & A look into Stealcam
March 29, 2023 22:14 - 38 minutes - 53.3 MBThe title this week says it all. Rizzle and I kick off our weekly chat talking about the recent tweet from Cryptovoxels founder Ben Nolan where he announced he will be stepping down from his position as CEO into a "normal" dev role while he opens up the CEO position to be filled by a rotating list of potential CEOs whom, after a period of time, Ben will ultimately pick the next permanent CEO from. Well, we're inserting Rizzle into that rotation, or to be more accurate, Rizzle is tweeting hi...
[Spotlight] At the Electric Bazaar with Artist Stefan Große Halbuer
March 29, 2023 03:48 - 36 minutes - 31.5 MBOn this installment of the Spotlight Interview series, I had the great pleasure to speak with the German digital artist Stefan Große Halbuer. Stefan has a drop coming up this Thursday, March 30th (2023) on Nifty Gateway [link to the collection page] so we of course discuss the three new isometric artworks featured in that collection, but we also focus on Stefan's creative genesis including the direct impact of Franco-Belgian comics like Asterix on his early artistic development and indirect...
Unearthing $B20, Balancing Technical Complexity & Community
March 22, 2023 21:42 - 43 minutes - 92.2 MBGather around the fireplace and let Rizzle and I take you on a trip down memory lane to the now infamous launch of the $B20 token back in January 2021 at the then largest metaverse event ever, Metapalooza. We talk about the token launch, original intent and technical underpinnings of the project that vaulted 20 unique Beeple 1/1s together with premium metaverse parcels and a 3lau soundscape followed by an epic crash and burn. After recording I uncovered the links to the buyout smart contra...
[Spotlight] Chatting CryptoCubes, Generative Art & Metaverse Exploring with Han
March 20, 2023 05:14 - 28 minutes - 59.1 MBThis spotlight interview is a blast from the past. Literally. Way back on July 11th, 2021 I recorded a chat with Han, creator of CryptoCubes. The conversation starts with the genesis of the CryptoCubes project which goes back to Han's architectural studies back in his university days and branches out to discuss the curation, the metaverse and much more.
Meta's Insta NFT Exit & Starbucks' Web3 Entrance
March 15, 2023 22:12 - 40 minutes - 31.9 MBThis week Rizzle and I use the recent announcement that Instagram will sunset their NFT project to take a look at the current relatively placid/borderline stagnant state of NFTland, the bright spots that continue to get brighter, and surprisingly, the early and promising moves that Starbucks is making with their NFT-powered Rewards program. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @iArtSometimes @superbowl @blur_io @opensea @garyvee @starbucks @superrare @niftygateway @fakewhale_xyz @Kingofmidtown1 @rx2n...
Hot takes on ETH Denver
March 08, 2023 23:10 - 41 minutes - 36.3 MBRizzle is fresh off the plane from ETH Denver last week so we dive right into talking about the good, the bad, and the dank of ETH Denver. The conversation zooms out to compare ETH Denver with other conferences in the space (e.g. NFT NYC, Non NFT Summit) before zooming in on the upcoming Rizzlefest that's set to take place in April 2023. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @EthereumDenver @NFT_NYC @monaverse @katreenatecson @Ezincr @Fractilians7 @conlan @trislit @natealexnft @kurokeh @uber @stevekl...
NFT Archeology & Crypto Incentives
March 01, 2023 23:30 - 43 minutes - 38.5 MBFirst off, our community is the best. Mikko Lyytenen shot Rizzle and I (plus the good folks at AsyncArt) an edition of their latest bear market-inspired work "Golden Apple of the Forest" which is just such a dope gesture. Much love Mikko. Outside of our amazing community, we discuss the recent NFT archeology expedition I went on digging into the "Lost XCOPY NFTweets" that were minted back in late-2020/early-2021 using the Valuables tweet minting platform, the bright spots in an otherwise st...
Some on-chain⛓ freudenfreude with a dash of off-chain schadenfreude
February 22, 2023 23:36 - 30 minutes - 26.3 MBCelebrate the good shit when it happens. Over the last week Bryan Brinkman and Pindar Van Arman both released and sold out on-chain projects and they're glorious. Bryan put out an on-chain game "Cloud Poppers" and Pindar a 100% on-chain AI generated collection entitled "byteGANs." Check those projects out if you haven't yet. On the other hand, the last week has seen the beginnings(?) of certain crop of 2021~2022 pfp projects post shitty announcements. The loudest news was probably from KR...
NFTs in the Minds of Normies
February 15, 2023 19:18 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBOn this week's MARS episode Matthew & Rizzle start by looking back at last week's WIP that featured an illuminating, raw conversation between Godfrey Meyer aka Boomboxhead and Jin about the biggest hurdles facing the buildout of a truly open and interoperable metaverse. That is followed by talking about how bad we are at marketing and the technical issues involved with trying to get better. Somehow we find ourselves commenting on the current state of NFT land and double-edged sword of having...
Larping as an artist & F*cking marketing
February 09, 2023 00:14 - 30 minutes - 22.1 MBOn this week's episode of the Matthew & Rizzle Show, Rizzle updates us on his on-going saga of larping as an artist. Rizzle managed to finagle an invite into an on-going drop curated by Corpega featuring heavy hitters like Robness, Empress Trash, WGMeets, Jaen, Moxarra and many more by dropping a work titled "Frog-sileus" which is kinda dank ngl. Then the conversation shifts to the all too commonly lamented task facing every artist and OG in the space: marketing oneself and ones work. Rizz...
An Oral History of OEs & Collecting in the Age of A.I.
February 01, 2023 23:24 - 35 minutes - 26.9 MBThe latest OE meta continues to dominate the crypto tweetosphere, so Rizzle and I decided to recount a bit of an oral history on Open Editions beginning with the first OE drop by Pak all the back in August 2020. From there we dive into the new world for collectors (and by extension creators) now that A.I. powered tools have made it trivially easy for literally anyone to create. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @manifoldxyz @niftygateway @muratpak @justinmaller @trevorjonesart @Mad_Dog_Jones @jack...
No one knows anything but we're vibing
January 25, 2023 23:39 - 41 minutes - 30.2 MBRizzle is back from touching grass with la familia so we spend the first half catching him up on the decade of events that transpired over the last week: namely the breakout success of a couple low-/no-cost OE mints like Jake Butcher's Checks - VV and Lucréce's Defy - Proceed with Caution. Depending on your perspective these new projects are either the coolest new thing under the sun, or a distraction from building more innovative new products. Luckily, no one knows what's right or wrong! A...
Rizzle Rambles on Decentralization & Interoperability
January 11, 2023 23:05 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MBSOLO EPISODE WITH RIZZLE Rizzle recorded a solo episode this week (my kiddo has put me through the ringer over the past few days) talking about the ethos that used to/should still be core to this space of our ours: Decentralization & Interoperability. He covers the three year history of the WIP Meetup which has tried to embody the best of these two pillars and contrasts it against other silo'd projects that are using this decentralized tech to create limited worlds and experiences. Shout...
New Year New Rabbit Hole
January 04, 2023 23:30 - 33 minutes - 23.7 MBHappy New Year everyone, The Matthew & Rizzle Show is back! Hopefully you were able to touch grass and catch some extra zzz's over the holidays. Rizzle and I are back in the saddle and kick off 2023 chatting about: - all the no-/low-cost mints artists are launching on their Manifold contracts + on Nifty Gateway - the key differences and trade offs of 1155 vs 721 mints - Rizzle's holiday experimentation with ai art - the need for an aggregator for crypto(art) history - 3 year annive...
Crypto Taxes & Holidays in the Metaverse
December 21, 2022 23:13 - 42 minutes - 30.2 MBHappy holidays yall! A massive thank you to everyone who has listened to the Matthew & Rizzle show this year. Your support and listenership are everything. In the spirit of the season, Rizzle and I kicked off the last MARS episode of 2022 talking about *drumroll, please* paying crypto taxes. We're not accountants, but we have been through crypto tax season a few times so offered a few tips that may help folks. We also audited the success of the daily Monaverse X Rizzle Advent Calendar pa...
The History Episode: The Rizzle Block, CV as Store of Metaverse History & Etching the Blockchain
December 14, 2022 23:41 - 38 minutes - 27.1 MBHappy bday Rizzle! Yesterday was the hypemaster of the metaverse's bday, and as per tradition, crazy ass avatars gathered in Rizzle's CV apartment (originally gifted to him by Twobadour) where the Rizzle Block was born and still lives (currently hidden beneath the bar there). It's a silly tradition if you think about it, but it's our silly tradition that's been going on three years strong in CryptoVoxels. CryptoVoxels is rich in much more metaverse history as well. Evilvoxels shared a rec...
[MARS Classic] Chatting in the hyperbaric chamber of metaverse growth with Jiho from Axie Infinity
December 07, 2022 22:58 - 47 minutes - 32.3 MBThe people have spoken and 2022's most popular MARS episode was this classic MARS episode originally released in January 2022 (which seems sooo long ago) when Matthew & Rizzle spoke with Sky Mavis & Axie Infinity co-founder, head of growth, community guru Jiho about... a lot. Topics discussed include: the (then) upcoming mega update at Axie Inifinity, recounting the monumental growth of 2021, and all-things community like starting an early community, the three C's of community (communicati...
If you're not having fun you're doing crypto wrong
December 01, 2022 00:02 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MBMONAVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR EVENT FTW!!! After a string of critique heavy episodes, Rizzle and I decided to shift focus to the more positive side of crypto: namely having fun. Crypto has always been fun, if you knew where to look, especially around the end of the year holidays. Way back in 2019 and 2020 the NFT marketplace Mintbase threw legendary, month-long Advent Calendar events deep in the heart of CryptoVoxels. Crypto projects sponsored the event gifting tokens, art and NFTs. Amazing me...
How to (not) kill a crypto project
November 23, 2022 23:04 - 40 minutes - 28 MBRIP Cryptovoxels. With the passing of time, it's inevitable that we'll see many crypto projects fail and fold. While projects fail for myriad reasons, in the crypto space an unfortunately increasingly common reason why crypto projects fail is from deviating too far away from their original mission & community. This is usually not an overnight phenomenon, but instead occurs as a result of a million individual small decisions that compound over time. Luckily there are many crypto projects t...
Big Tech ain't dead and neither is the Metaverse
November 16, 2022 23:30 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBThe mainstream media is once again (literally, for like the 400th time) jumping on the grave of crypto pronouncing it dead in the wake of the FTX/Alameda implosion and Genesis shit shows. Unlike the previous 400 times crypto died, however, the MSM seems to believe that big tech companies like Facebook, Twitter and their ilk are approaching death's front door as well in light of the recent wave of layoffs occurring at these places. Rizzle and I chat about why journos keep getting this shit s...
Praising the NonNFT Summit & Debating the KO acquisition
November 09, 2022 23:01 - 41 minutes - 28.5 MBJfc another decade happened over the last week. Hope yall are staying safe out there. Before touching on the FTX fiasco and the state of CEXs in general, Rizzle and I chat about the NonNFT Summit, the best cryptoart gathering ever organized by the incredible Neurocolor & Moxarra, touch on some of the early plans for Rizzlefest, and debate ebay's $45M acquisition of the cryptoart marketplace KnownOrigin. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @NonNftSummit @Moxarra @pasteinpeace @SuperRare @verticalcr...
GET OFF MY METAVERSE LAWN
November 02, 2022 21:46 - 41 minutes - 28.2 MBSome episodes just name themselves. If you listen to the first half of this episode you'll literally hear Rizzle shouting at the new influencooors to get off his metaverse lawn lmfao. The rest of our chat strolls around the neighborhood of 'being early' and the good and bad that comes with that. We also touch on the Art Gobblers drop and ensuing bi-polar reaction on twitter and tease out a topic for next week's episode: ebay's acquisition of KnownOrigin for $45 million. Shout-outs & Shots-f...
On-chain History & Reddit "Digital Collectibles"
October 26, 2022 22:08 - 42 minutes - 28.9 MBThis week Rizzle and & talked about the history on-chain based on this recent tweet and how every collector and new community in this space is playing a hand at adding value to the immutable history being written into the blockchain. From there we segue into the Reddit's "digital collectible" experiment and what that may portend for the future of NFT Land and the future of onboarding folks into the metaverse. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @supahmarbler @MemeExplorers @prrfbeauty @MagazineNFT @M...
We have nothing to lose, all over again
October 19, 2022 22:56 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBThis week Rizzle and I talked shit on the state of metaverse meetups. Most of them are boring. Straight up. We gotta figure out ways to regularly make highly engaging and more importantly FUN in-world activities. Simply jumping in-world to look around at a gallery won't cut it. And simply throwing money at the problem ~cough~ Meta ~cough~ won't work either. We talked about the evolution of the WIP, the different challenges along the way beginning with audio problems and wrapped up talking a...
Crypto Community in NFT Land: Past, Present & Future
October 12, 2022 23:15 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBRizzle and I are taking MARS private. For the foreseeable future MARS episodes are just going to Rizzle and I (Matthew aka @niftytime) running our mouths like back in the day when we started recording in 2019. On this episode we talk about a few different things, but what are mainly talking about is the evolution of crypto communities in NFT Land since roughly around 2018 until present day: what's changed, stayed the same and where we think crypto community may end up heading forward. I...
[WIP Crew Series] Filming metaverse history with Paradoxx, the first metaverse videographer
September 28, 2022 23:27 - 48 minutes - 33.4 MBTo round out the WIP Crew Series interviews, Matthew & Rizzle chopped it up the very first videographer of the metaverse himself, Paradoxx.

[WIP Crew Series] Saying death to audio problems with Dragonate
September 14, 2022 22:20 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle take a walk down WIP memory lane with WIP Crew member #1, Dragonate. Dragonate was the very first member of the WIP Crew dating back to April 2020. He emerged after one particularly trying WIP where audio issue nearly killed the show with a readymade audio solution. The rest is history. But Dragonate's metaverse adventure began before the WIP back on Cent. Since then, however, Dragonate's presence and impact on NFT land has grown dramatically. In addition to bei...
3 Year Anniversary Episode with Matthew & Rizzle
September 07, 2022 22:10 - 46 minutes - 32.2 MBMatthew & Rizzle talk about what it's been like talking shit and recording podcasts together for the last three years. The duo cover everything from Cent days on forward to present day. Dragonate also makes a cameo towards the end. It's good times and foreshadows what the Matthew & Rizzle show will become (again): a show focused on two friends who became full-time builders and creators in NFT land giving their (mildly) hot takes on the state of things. Shout-outs & Shots Fired: @Brook_Ha...

The duo discuss Oddballs, the project Amir is building out at Bomani and shares some super relevant takes on where the web3 space is from a builder's perspective, using ai art, and how people generally think about building experiences around their projects.

Building in the metaverse with meta architect Pointshark
August 17, 2022 23:15 - 1 hour - 43 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle spoke with Pointshark, and OG meta architect and virtual builder. Pointshark's day job is in the IRL construction industry, so his perspective as a virtual builder is intimately informed by his real life building expertise. Pointshark talk about how he found crypto and NFT land while working construction and the community that immediately embraced him early on that propelled him to dive deeper into the metaverse until he found the small cadre of expert meta archi...
[WIP Crew Series] Turning the volume up in the metaverse with Sho
August 10, 2022 23:28 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle spoke with the loudest voice in the metaverse, host of the Afties on the WIP Meetup, and wearer of many other hats, Sho. If you're a fan of the Afties, then sit back, crack open a cold one, and get ready for a fun one. Sho starts off with a potted history up to his joining the WIP Crew before giving a spicy take of the current state of the metaverse. Sho doesn't hold back his criticism for valid reasons. The space needs to mature and the only way that will happen ...
Introducing CryptoStellas with Stellabelle
August 03, 2022 21:12 - 1 hour - 57 MBThis week, Matthew & Rizzle spoke with the OG crypto artist and provocateur par excellence Stellabelle (note the spelling y'all - all one word, no capital 'b' and an 'e' at the end). Stellabelle has an epic drop of 23 works from her legendary CryptoStellas collection scheduled to go live on Nifty Gateway on Monday August 8th at 6:30 pm ET. There is A LOT of history and criticism to unpack in this collection. At a high level, the collection can be viewed as a group of unheralded Saints vs....
Sprinting towards Media3 with Omega Runner co-founder Bryce Anderson
July 27, 2022 20:12 - 51 minutes - 35.3 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle spoke with Bryce Anderson about his latest project Omega Runner. Bryce hails from Hollywood and the movie and entertainment industry, and is pulling on all that experience with Omega Runner, a project that Bryce describes as Media3 (to differentiate it from the monolithic catch-all that web3 currently is). There is a lot of potential for content creators to leverage their creations in the crypto-space vis-a-vis the traditional media establishment that allows for mo...

Based on rough, back-of-the-envelope math, Carolina has minted and distributed over 200,000 NFTs as POAPs across 2,000+ events. But Carolina is more than a POAP Master. Much more. The boys chat with Carolina about her entrance into the web3 and NFT space, her surprise familial connection (shocked even Matthew & Rizzle),...

Listen back on the vision these two had for The Sandbox then and afterwards download The Sandbox client and hop in-world to see where they are at today. They've come a long way, but for sure there is still so much...
