 seth don't podcast no more
and watchman is censoring monero to shill his bitcoin course on cloudflare/google payment gateways, and he ain't on nostr.

we're doing a podcast soon.  for now hit up the articles @Schroedinger 
 Seth's latest one was posted only on 𝕏 to settle a debate between @Super Testnet and monero dev Luke Parker, and he said he was going to record one with @1440000bytes on joinstr, so yeah more occasional episodes rather than often

And yeah I've heard on watchman, he has the Cake crew blocked as well for unknown reasons, and this is why I mentioned the irony of being pro-privacy, but only using 𝕏 as your platform and avoiding nostr, but still I listen only to hear from whoever is being interviewed, still makes for some background noise while on long bike rides etc

Good to hear about the podcast though I'll def add yours to my antennapod feed, I know you guys venture into unheard of areas and sometimes I just save things to read later but would be good to hear it in podcast format, for example how you guys are using Arweave recently, and anything else 
 Gabriel is a weird dude but he isn't censoring Monero.

tbh I can't stand Doug either 
 So my source on this is Tuxsudo, who did an interview with Watchman,
Apparently watchman censored the interview post-recording, saying that "cake wallet didn't fit his vision" or something along those lines.

I am speculating that the reason is so watchman can sell courses.  Now can I be wrong on the real motivation? yes.
If you have a time when watchman taught Monero, I'd love to hear it.

Now regarding doug, you are entitled to your opinion sure.  I think though he's doing a lot of good education-wise with getting good people on there 
 yeah I recall hearing about that.
pretty curious what Gabriel found objectionable.
i just mean he *always* mentions monero as a preferred payment method.

Doug is alright. he's just the Marty Bent of the Monero space.

its probably good to have someone like that as a public-facing persona.
not for me though.
