CoinDesk Podcast Network - NFT ALL-STARS: The Future of Entertainment With Pete Holmes

This episode is sponsored by TurboTax Live and Metapurse.fund. 

NFTs have exploded in popularity in the past year. But what are they, really? 

“NFT All-Stars,” CoinDesk’s new animated series, brings together a star-studded panel of investors, curators and innovators to debate, explain and laugh about all things NFTs. The hosts are the true OGs of NFTs: Blockade Games CEO Marguerite deCourcelle, EDM innovator, DJ, and NFT artisan BT, ClubNFT CEO Artnome, and Highstreet co-founder Jenny Guo.

Joining this episode is Pete Holmes, stand up comedian well known for "The Pete Holmes Show" and "Crashing.” Holmes and the hosts imagine the possibilities for NFTs in the entertainment industry. Last year, Homes embarked on a NFT-comedy fusion exploration with "Non-Fungible Jokin'," the world's first live NFT comedy special. 

NFTs were all the rage in 2021, with digital collectibles like Bored Apes and CryptoPunks rapidly becoming status symbols for the new rich. Then, the digital and traditional art worlds collided head-on when a Beeple collection sold for millions at Christie's.

NFT visionaries have since pushed the boundaries of what is possible with the new technology, creating NFTs for almost every creative project imaginable. What’s next?

Consider This from NPR - Along The Russian Border, Some Ukrainians Already Live With War

The world is watching as Russia continues it's threat of invasion with troops at the border of Ukraine. But close to that border, in the Donbas region, people look at you a little funny if you ask whether they're worried about war with Russia, because they are already living through it.

Areas of Eastern Ukraine have been at war since 2014 when Russia-backed separatists moved in and declared breakaway republics. And that's where NPR's Mary Louise Kelly has been, talking with residents about what this new threat might mean for them.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
