RadixRadio

RadixRadio is a Radix-focused podcast hosted by Jimmy Humania, having been founded by long-time Radix community member @kilovoltage. The podcast launched in late 2022 as a way to highlight new projects being built on Radix and interview influential figures within the Radix community.

Overview

New episodes of RadixRadio are released on a weekly basis, with most following an interview format. Kilovoltage will typically speak in-depth with founders of Radix-based projects or other important voices in the community. There is also audience participation during the live recording of episodes, with listeners able to join the discussion and ask questions. The podcast aims to provide a unique opportunity for community engagement within the Radix ecosystem. By interviewing project leaders and discussing the latest developments, it helps keep the community informed and connected. RadixRadio also serves as an educational resource, with discussions exploring the technical workings of Radix and its advantages over other blockchains. Since its launch, RadixRadio has developed a dedicated following within the Radix community. Episodes regularly garner hundreds of listens across platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and podcast services. As the Radix ecosystem continues to grow leading up to the Babylon smart contract release in 2023, RadixRadio looks to establish itself as a go-to source for staying up-to-date.

Format

RadixRadio recordings take place via the Twitter Spaces feature. This allows kilovoltage to host live voice conversations focused around a particular topic or guest. Listeners can tune into the Twitter Space live and participate in the discussion.

After the initial recording, the audio from the Twitter Space is extracted and uploaded onto other platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc. This allows the episodes to remain available after the 30-day expiration period for Twitter Spaces.

The majority of RadixRadio episodes follow an interview format, with kilovoltage speaking one-on-one with a guest. These guests are typically founders of projects built on Radix or influential voices within the Radix community.

In addition to the interview content, listener participation and questions are a key component of the podcast. Those tuning into the Twitter Space recordings are able to raise their hand and be brought on air by kilovoltage to ask questions or share perspectives. This interactivity is a core part of what makes RadixRadio unique.

The free-flowing discussion format enabled by Twitter Spaces gives RadixRadio a conversational tone. Kilovoltage aims to make guests feel comfortable opening up, while still extracting key insights about their projects and Radix involvement. This casual yet informative style has resonated with listeners.
