This is why I made the change with the show.

In this interview I discuss the impending Sovereign Debt Crisis with   nostr:npub13k8vp6ylmagffppknaepalcpl0g07rrkwxgdq8c732lnad4gmekq4huf2d, former Member of Parliament for Wycombe. We also discuss the economic illiteracy in government, debt, inflation and the potential for #Bitcoin.

Onward 🫡


I plan on binging a lot of these interviews in the future when I'm ready for em. Really enjoyed the marijuana one though, it was really eye opening!


Oh man I can’t wait to listen to this. Thanks for all you do Peter. I love the new show, but I don’t think that you’re obnoxious


Technically you could have kept the same show and brought on more non-BTC guests.


Still doesn't explain the awful name.


Great meeting you Peter - thanks for a great chat!


Great show for the UK lads!

YES - then the fucking arrogant "I was in advertising" hand wave when everyone chimed in. Why would you ever change your brand from bitcoin to being obnoxious? He's not even obnoxious, just everyman rough around the edges.

Ironically, bitcoin made him obnoxious ha.


Looking forward to this one, as you’ll know 😉


The only people who have complained about the name are people who listened to the old show.

There is a really good book called "Who Moved My Cheese", might be helpful.


Looking forward to this..


I do miss your old podcast 🧡


Nah, it was time to rip the bandaid off and go in a different direction. Plenty of good Bitcoin podcasts out there for people.


My enemies do


I was mentally done. Was time for a change.


I understand that!


Busy listening 🔥


I enjoy your new direction.  As it is often said, even if you’re on the right track, if you sit still, you’ll be run over.


Your enemies are douches FTFY


I miss it too


DUH! Why the fuck would a new person complain about the name!? They just scroll by and don't click the stupid sounding show.

I can embrace change, sir, I cannot embrace dopyness....


Then don’t, you can literally just ignore it and get on with your life.


Seeing this note on Fountain but the links take me off-site to Spotify or YouTube. Please include Fountain link and be Nostr-friendly.


fair, but I have to be honest Pete, I never listened to the old podcast to hear your political opinions or monologues, it's not your strong suit. I listened because you were a good interviewer. New show leaves a lot to be desired, very meandering and without tight focus. you often repeat the same content between interviews now by self-referencing across guests. lots of meta talk about your podcast.

gave the new show about 4 episodes of listening and haven't been back to it since

mean for this to be constructive criticism


This comment deserved a much larger period at the end. 😂


Thanks for the feedback but I don’t really expect to keep many of the old listeners.

It took 860 episodes to refine the Bitcoin one, now it’s a new show doing a new thing. Hosting is hard, it takes time. The old show was criticised endlessly but still became the biggest show on Bitcoin. Endlessly people would tell me do this, so that, I hate your opinions on this yadda yadda. I still just did my thing.

There are many people who liked my political opinions and monologues. Thinking a show is perfect for you is a mistake, different people take different things from it, some like the guests, some like the questions, some like the references to my businesses etc etc…

This is now a hobby, I’m cool with however it plays out, even if it doesn’t work. I did 7 years of flying and being away from my family, now I want a different life.


🤘You rock 🤘


That was a really good one.

Good rip.


I'll watch it tonight. Quite like Steve Baker. Apparently he gave an address in the Commons about bitcoin in 2013, 2014 ish. Ahead of his time...


It was a speech on money creation and society. I discovered Bitcoin near the beginning. I think we covered that in the show.

good that you changed the name


INCREDIBLE


Far better articulated than I manage after a few pints, arguing with my leftie mates. Doubt they’d actually give it a listen if I shared it, though—so here’s to the arguments continuing! 😂


They should definitely confront the facts. Perhaps ask what they make of these?

Great Conversation.  All makes sense!

Great conversation. Not convinced that political engagement is the solution unless it’s a concerted effort to radically shrink the state. Apathy is a big problem, people will only wake up when they’re forced to.

We’re in the “trust us” phase

This is the first of the Mr Obnoxious podcasts I've listened too, despite regularly listening to what bitcoin did. Don't know why, but the new name triggered me. Anyway, great listen and great to see Steve on NOSTR


I get that you did it for those reasons, and they're good, I'm just saying I find the show doesn't suit anymore. I don't think it plays to your strengths as a host. that's all. best of luck with it, I feel you'll have success. just not for me anymore


You may be right but a moment of reflection on who is in Parliament and for how long tells you political party membership in a democracy is a lifelong endeavour.


As a fellow Brit , this episode was tremendous Peter thank you


when are you gonna talk about the street shitters stabbing everyone?


Give it time, it is a shift. Like when you start a new job, takes some warming up.

You might be America though and I am discussing UK issues. UK listeners are really enjoying it.
