If the last few elections have shown anything it’s the impact of people having access to information. The major network news outlets have taken a back seat to social media and podcasts. This trend needs to continue with decentralized tech such as nostr giving people access to more information, uncensored and uncontrollable by corporate and government interests.
I like the idea of building a Polymarket not on top of a VC shitcoin stack.

That was a good one. A polymarket built on top of real finite money would be a powerful tool. I'm not a betting person myself, but I think the vision described in the podcast is very useful.
Interesting concept for sure.
With the economy being most people’s biggest concern, I think the dems doomed themselves by trying to blame grocery stores for rising food costs. It’s simple these days for people to find a podcast that quickly explains to them why that’s bullshit.
💯 People also are hungry for answers and authenticity, and a podcast gives much more time to understand an issue and a person than a speech or news segment that’s been edited and cut/manipulated and only lasts a few minutes at best.
We now have the first podcast president. I wouldn't be surprised if the next presidential debate, 4 years from now, is hosted on an Internet platform.
