This week’s Inside The Screen, hosted by Aaron “Don” Dukes, features special guest Kaz. Kaz is a maestro of sorts in his main areas of expertise – he’s a 3D artist, motion designer, video editor, streamer, and gamer. His motion designing/video editing freelance work is tied to the booming world of esports, plus he’s also created and continues to create dope pieces of art that double as NFTs and sweet wall panels.
As society begins to better understand Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and the value they hold, curiosity spikes. This curiosity leads people to search for a resource where they can find out more about the technology and all the opportunities that are so abundant in the NFT space.
Alexis Ohanian, Founder of Seven Seven Six and Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Reddit, is teaming up with Tiffany Zhong, Founder and CEO of Islands to launch a new one-stop podcast for NFT news, in-depth analysis, and interviews with industry leaders and market experts.
The Probably Nothing podcast pairs two different perspectives from leading voices in the NFT space. Gen Z Whisperer (Tiffany Zhong) and Millennial (Alexis Ohanian) come together to talk about the future of content, community, commerce, culture, and anything else related to NFTs.
Probably Nothing will serve as an educational and NFT-news focused media brand determined to deliver thoughtful commentary and entertaining interviews with some of the most respected experts and enthusiasts in the industry today. Even more so, Alexis and Tiffany will be letting listeners in on all the latest NFT trends and projects across the space.
There is a lot of information and data when it comes to NFTs. According to data collected by NonFungible.com, NFT sales range anywhere from 15,000 to more than 250,000 per week with $244m in sales in this past week and $1.84b in sales in the past month. That’s why the Probably Nothing podcast aims to be your go-to resource for information on projects and case studies.
“The technology behind NFTs is very real. What we’re seeing right now is one use of this technology—a canvas—and the emerging community of collectors that has already had a huge impact on the art world. I’m asked every day by people—from emerging artists and technologists, to A-list celebrities and multi-billion dollar brands—about how they should be thinking about the space,” said Alexis Ohanian. “Working with Tiffany, this podcast will educate the public on the current trends, dive into the history of NFTs, and bring guests on to help us define where this is headed.”
Alexis Ohanian has years of experience not only with collecting and investing in NFTs, but also with the companies that support the development of NFT communities and creator monetization platforms.

Tiffany is also a leading voice as the Gen Z Whisperer, providing valuable insight on trends and market behavior.

In the world of Cannabis, like many aspects of popular culture, news tends to move at a mile a minute. It’s legalized here; it’s still illegal here, and so on. Given that sort of news tends to be the norm, it can be hard to track where the cannabis industry is going and how far it has come.
ONE37pm presents Cannabis State of the Union; a three-part podcast series focused on the “past, present, and future of the cannabis community as it evolves into an industry.”
Over the course of the past few years, TikTok has established itself as one of the most impactful social media platforms in the world. Like a movie/television show, TikTok has its own ‘leading stars,’ and one of the most familiar faces on the app is 23-year-old viral sensation Brittany Broski. You may know Broski as the ‘Kombucha Girl,’ who first blew up with her TikTok that featured her trying Kombucha for the first time.
With six million followers and counting, Brittany possesses a wit and charm similar to that of Rebel Wilson (while still remaining herself, of course). Her relatability makes her an easy fan-favorite on the app. TikTok recently decided it was time to create an official podcast series, and it was clear that Broski would be the perfect host for the show. Entitled For You, the show features a different influential creator every week. A new episode will debut every Wednesday at 5:30pm PST/ 8:30pm EST on TikTok LIVE. The first official guest of For You is none other than the electrifying Frankie Jonas.
Since his October debut, Jonas has soared to TikTok fame, becoming one of the most famous comedians on the app with his clever puns, humor, and willingness to make himself the butt of his own jokes. The social media star is quickly approaching two million followers with nearly 40 million likes on the app. His most recent video is a hilarious rating of a few childhood red carpet outfits and showcases the essence of his popularity on the platform.
Broski: Since quarantine started, we have seen you blossom. You are so funny! I was shocked!
Jonas: Thank You! I’m shocked that people have thought that I am funny! I’ve been making jokes for years—not many people have been laughing at them, and then suddenly I had a few people think that I am really funny!
Broski: So let’s get into this TikTok journey. When did you download the app, and how did you get into it?
Jonas: I actually did everything I could for like a year to not download the app. I thought it was super elitist, and I was like, “Oh, I’m too posh—I don’t need it.” Enough people were like, “Frankie, you spend all day on Instagram watching TikTok reposts and sending it to people who have seen it on TikTok—you are a massive hypocrite!” I downloaded the app, and the first thing I did upon making the app was create a video. At the time, I had a broken iPhone—the diaphragm was ruptured, and it was me recording a video where all you could hear was noise similar to a wind tunnel! It was fun!
Broski: Does the engagement that you get drive your content, or are you just like, “oh whatever?”
Jonas: Honestly, not that much! For me, the real viral moment was when my brother Nick posted a TikTok, and I made a video responding to it. For those who don’t know, Nick posted a video with his wife (actress Priyanka Chopra), which was a duet of another person’s video. The resounding factor of my video was the comment section, which had 20,000 people asking Nick if he was my brother! I didn’t plan that—I had no part in the cults of Frankie Jonas! That got so publicized that I subsequently gained over a million followers in like a 30-hour span. After that, it was definitely a moment of “Oh, I have so much attention right now, what do I do?!” I honestly had a panic attack for like a week straight. I had no idea what to do with myself.
Broski: How did your brothers respond to your videos about them? Are there any complaints, or are they supportive?
Jonas: They are super supportive! I’ve done everything I can to make sure it’s done in good taste while also poking fun at the general life light of it all. I would definitely never want to exploit them at all! I think they are really happy for me and it’s cool! They are such supportive brothers just in all facets of life. They are amazing people! So with TikTok and everything going on, they have just been happy that I have found a voice and am comfortable with it.
You definitely don’t want to miss out on Broski and Jonas’ full conversation. If you happen to miss out on the TikTok LIVE episode, you can catch it on all major podcast platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Google and TikTok’s YouTube channel on Thursdays.
You wanna go on a trip? Check out some of the first few episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience. One of the top comments you will see when you watch his first episode with Brian Redban is, “this feels like watching cavemen discover fire.” And it is so true.

In a sincere moment early in the show, Rogan makes an endearing comment about how they had over 100 live viewers and felt pressure to be entertaining.

Ask any modern intellectual what podcasts they’re listening to, and The Joe Rogan Experience might be in their top five. The audio and video show, launched by the multi-hyphenate comedian and media personality in 2009, is lauded by listeners (around 16 million a month) for providing a thought-provoking forum for all sorts of ideas and conversations you definitely won’t find on any local TV stations.
With over 1,300 episodes recorded to date, Joe Rogan has proven himself a particularly insightful and prolific interviewer. But it’s his wide range of guests, from the worlds of science, sports, politics, technology and more, that really drives each podcast. And whoa, has this guy had some major players on his show, including some of the smartest minds of today. Being funny and entertaining is one thing, but when it comes to The Joe Rogan Experience, the best episodes combine the two with some serious scholarly discussions.
If you’re looking for a cheat sheet of where to start, scroll down for eight of the podcast’s smartest guests.
Elon Musk needs no introduction. The entrepreneur, engineer and founder and CEO of innovative companies like SpaceX and Tesla is surely one of the smartest people to ever grace Rogan’s recording studio, but his appearance on the podcast has gone down in history, thanks to his puff-puff pass of a particular plant. That viral moment aside, Musk talks everything from electric cars to the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence on this must-listen episode.
Legendary astrophysicist, cosmologist, author and science personality Neil deGrasse Tyson, who can usually blow our minds in a single sentence about the universe, has appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience multiple times, where conversations usually focus on space travel, sci-fi films and cosmic phenomena.
Another recurring guest on the podcast is Sam Harris, a neuroscientist, philosopher and bestselling author who explores subject matter like ethics, free will, politics and religion. He’s also a huge proponent of mindful meditation and even has his own meditation app.
If you’re interested in health, nutrition and the metabolic processes of the human body, episodes featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick should be on your to-listen list. The biomedical expert shares some incredible knowledge on the links between diet and health on JRE. If you think you’ve been doing the whole healthy-eating thing right, you might be surprised after hearing what she has to say.
English physicist Brian Cox is known for bringing science to the masses by hosting multiple programs in the U.K. and writing popular science books, including Why Does E=mc²? and The Quantum Universe. He’s pretty much the real-life version of a character on The Big Bang Theory (sans the social awkwardness). Cox has been a guest a few times, during which he expertly explains, in layman’s terms, everything from the shape of the universe to the—brace yourself—meaning of life. Whew.
Looking for some serious life hacks? You’ll want to know Tim Ferriss. The entrepreneur rose to prominence after publishing the self-improvement book The 4-Hour Workweek, which focuses on the philosophy of lifestyle design and highlights some of the secrets of his success. On one of the earlier episodes of JRE, he talks about personal development, his morning routine and the importance of meditation in his life.
Mathematical physicist, economist and investment pro Eric Weinstein is a big name among the business-minded. We mean, Peter Thiel hired him as the director of Thiel Capital, so you know this guy knows what he’s talking about. One of the coolest things he explains on JRE is Gauge Theory, the major link between physics and economics. Who knew?
A ton of Silicon Valley startups can thank Naval Ravikant for their capital. The serial entrepreneur and ingenious business thinker co-founded AngelList, a platform that easily matches angel investors and startups, as well as job seekers looking for positions and openings. In his appearance on the podcast, Ravikant explores the philosophy of entrepreneurship and says that anyone in the world can be wealthy. Inspiring, to say the least.
The long-standing former host of The Daily Show needs no introduction. Stewart is ultimately one of the most widely-adored, widely-consumed political minds of our era, and entirely shifted the avenues through which pundits may dispense political commentary. In their interview, Joe and John cover a ton of topics, everything from the comedian’s plant-based diet to his latest film, Irresistible, which released in June of 2020.
Although Yang’s race for president ended months ago, his impact on the political arena will reverberate for decades to come. Rogan and the presidential hopeful/entrepreneur spoke back in February of 2019, as Yang was first building his campaign. Yang brought many socially-progressive platforms to the debate stage, espousing the important of a Universal Basic Income in the face of a rapidly expanding technocracy. Rogan and Yang discuss the Venture for America founder’s campaign strategy, his goals for the US and much more in their 2-hour sit-down.
Back in March, as the concerns around the Coronavirus Pandemic became increasingly urgent, Rogan sat down with Michael Osterholm, an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology. The interview is essential both as a deep dive into the confusing and nuanced world of disease epidemiology, but also a time capsule of how we perceived the disease in the week’s immediately before its most catastrophic rise.
Years before his untimely passing in 2018, acclaimed chef and personality Anthony Bourdain sat down with Rogan for a lengthy conversation about his career, writing and marijuana legalization (among many other things). Known for being one of the most likable people in, well, the world, Bourdain espouses a slew of helpful nuggets of advice and insights into the inner machinations of one of the 21st century’s greatest minds.
The Joe Rogan Experience is at its best when Rogan brings on guests he disagrees with. This concept is on full display in his interview with Dan Savage, gay American author, media pundit, and journalist known for his sex advice column, “Savage Love.” It’s an amazing debate, demonstrating the importance of disagreement in cultivating healthy discussion.
Both Trussell and Ryan are frequent guests on the JRE, and their lengthy discussions of psychedelics and their benefits have become a mainstay of the podcast’s tenure. It’s a four hour interview, featuring hot takes from both stand-up comedian Duncan Trussell and psychologist Christopher Ryan. The episode linked above is a great one, but both Russell and Ryan have been on the podcast many times over the years (both as a duo and individually), illustrating how people and their opinions evolve over time.
I mean how could we make this list and not include the one and only Gary Vee? The serial entrepreneur, investor and author needs to ONE37pm introduction, but he would be included on this list regardless of his affiliation with the brand. When Gary Vee speaks, the people listen. And this interview is no exception. Rogan’s laid back style juxtaposed against Gary’s fast-paced dissemination of countless insights makes for one of the most dynamic episodes of JRE in its entire catalogue.
It’s hard to characterize David Goggins with only one word. The retired Navy SEAL turned ultramarathon runner, ultra-distance cyclist, triathlete and world record holder for the most pull-ups done in 24 hours is a living representation of the way people can unlock their potential. It’s one of the most motivational episodes of the pod; We’d be surprised if you can listen and not end up wanting to go for a run.
Graham Hancock is best known for his work on ancient civilizations, catalogued in his many books, including The Sign and the Seal and Fingerprints of the Gods. Hancock’s pseudoscientific research is an incredible example of alternative archaeology, and is so deeply different from a lot of what we learn in traditional education systems. As is the case with many unorthodox thinkers, the person best suited to explain Graham Hancock is the man himself. Luckily for us, Rogan and Hancock spend 3 hours doing that very thing.
When people think of the biggest names in podcasting, many first think of Joe Rogan, but a lot of podcast fans would think of Malcolm Gladwell. Known for hosting the immensely popular Revisionist History in addition to his 20+ years as a staff writer for The New Yorker (and six books), Gladwell has long been one of the most read and discussed writers in contemporary journalism. Gladwell’s signature sing-song voice paired with Rogan’s mellow conversational style makes for an incredible interview, both with regard to content and mere auditory pleasure.
Snowden’s appearance on the podcast in late 2019 was monumental. Since his watershed leak of classified info from the NSA in 2013 (and subsequent relocation to Russia), any and all interviews with the whistleblower are mandatory viewing. Aside from his groundbreaking choice to leak the information, Snowden is also an immensely intelligent computer security consultant, and his appearance on the JRE makes for one of his longest form appearances to date. If you want to learn more about Snowden’s 2013 leak (or whistleblowing and cybersecurity in general), this episode is a must-listen.
Journalist Michael Pollan is perhaps best known for his 2006 book The Omnivore’s Dilemma. A professor at both Harvard University and UC Berkeley, Pollan has written prolifically about a wide range of topics surrounding the socio-cultural impacts of food. In this interview, they discuss Pollan’s 2018 book, How to Change Your Mind, and—in typical Joe Rogan fashion—spend a considerable amount of time addressing their psychedelic experiences.
On this week’s episode of our podcast Monday to Monday, Mike speaks with Yung Baby Tate’s manager, Quinn (@Q1hunnid). He wears a lot of different hats (“I do a little bit of a lot”) and provides immense insight into the machinations of the contemporary music landscape, while also highlighting some tips for managers and producers. They discuss Yung Baby Tate’s rise on TikTok, Quinn’s journey as a manager and some of the artists he’s most excited about right now.
In the past year or so, TikTok has become a major new avenue for disseminating an artist’s new music. Quinn discusses Yung Baby Tate’s collaboration with Ashnikko, “STUPID,” which went viral on the platform late last year. It’s a totally new way of distributing music. On the record’s continuous high-streaming numbers to this day, Quinn tells Mike: “I think that shows some of the power of, like if you have TikTok success with a legitimately strong record, the staying power of that.” He adds: “Shoutout to TikTok.”
Quinn does a lot of different work with a lot of different artists, and so, naturally, Mike has to ask him what he’s been most excited about. He lists a ton of up and comers, citing IGIR Woodiee and Tahj Keeton (“it’s very, like, industrial rap”), and many of the artists he works with through his work at StreamCut, including Mulatto, Light Skin Keisha, Saucy Santana and SahBabii.
Mike goes on to ask Quinn to share some advice for either managers or those communicating with managers to get their work seen. “Trying to find yourself a mentor is going to be very impactful,” is one of the first gems he drops, before adding that it’s important to “Legitimately value all the relationships that you meet along the way.” He also includes the importance of being kind and making good impressions, telling Mike, “People remember when you’re a dick.”
Quinn and Mike spend some time near the end of the interview discussing the importance of forming strong relationships with the people he represents/works with. “I want to like you and really believe in your music,” he says, before expanding: “No one wants to deal with the bullshit that you have to deal with as a manager at times if they don’t like the person they’re doing it for.” It’s of course about the music, but it’s also about creating strong bonds with those around you.
If you loved this episode and want to hear Mike chat with more artists, managers and producers, make sure to check out last week’s episode, when he spoke with rapper Glockstar Dimi.
On this week’s episode of our podcast Monday to Monday, we speak with emerging rapper/fashion mogul Glockstar Dimi. Dimi and Mike discuss the New York state rapper’s recent single with Richie Souf and his last project, LOADIN(G)… Dimi got his start in hip-hop through fashion, and maintains its importance in cultivating a successful presence in the rap space. The duo covers a ton of ground in this interview before letting guests in for a Q and A, in which Dimi discusses the importance of fashion, being from upstate and how he embeds emotion in his music.
Early in the interview, Mike asks Dimi when he first knew that music could be a career. “When my friends started bumping my music. Like when my friends really started taking my music seriously,” he responds. This emphasis on his friends’ opinions comes up a lot throughout the interview, because if his friends enjoy the music, that suggests the world will as well. Dimi also shares some stories about when folks first started bumping his songs.
They go on to address the rapper’s recording process, something he has been fleshing out for the past year or so. “When I record, I want the song to come out the first time, like how I hear it. I don’t wanna keep recording it over and over and over,” he says. Recording LOADIN(G)… helped him develop this process, encouraging him to record things the right way on the first take.
Responding to a question from a fan, Dimi discusses his collective ( G ) Corp and how he perceives the future of the group. “We make clothes, music. I got producers, we got people that build tech, photographers, stylists. It’s just like a creative lab,” he says. He continues, saying: “I wanna make something more than a fashion house, like if you could put a fashion house and Apple in one thing.” It’s certainly an ambitious undertaking, but with Dimi at the helm, it’s well within reach.
Mike asks Dimi about his upbringing in upstate New York and early commitment to fashion. Although he was partially raised in NYC, Dimi still claims upstate as home. “I’m from upstate. I grew up here. I got my bumps and bruises here. I got my heartbroken here. I got a hit out here. Everything that ever happened to me, happened upstate,” he says, and adds: “Upstate, when you come here, there’s so much culture that people don’t know about.” The upstate scene is relatively unknown compared to the city scene, and thus he feels a responsibility to ride for his home. On his genesis in the fashion world he also has interesting advice. “I was fashion first. If you not fashion first, it’s not really gonna work for you,” he says. Part of Dimi’s success can be attributed to his commitment to looking fly, a commitment that many artists overlook.
They close the interview with a discussion of the emotional quality of Dimi’s music. “I just want people to be able to feel what I’m talking about… You could talk about a whole bunch of shit, but if it’s not relatable to people bro, people not gonna gravitate towards it. So I always try and make sure my music’s relatable,” he says. This emotional relatability is part of what makes Dimi’s music so raw and so enjoyable.
If you loved this episode and want to hear more of Mike and the gang talking with artists, producers and managers, make sure to check out last week’s episode, when he spoke with 2KBABY’s manager, Danny Hajj.
In this week’s episode of our podcast, Monday to Monday, Mike Boyd speaks with producer/manager Danny Hajj, a frequent collaborator of 2KBABY’s. As both a producer and manager, Hajj has worn many hats, and thus provides unique insight into the hip-hop landscape. They address his past as a classical pianist, how he determines the right people to work with and the dissolving boundaries between popular genres in 2020.
Early on in the episode, Hajj spends a bit of time answering questions about the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop in 2020. A fan asks Hajj about the importance of playing an instrument, and although Danny’s a classically trained pianist, he doesn’t emphasize needing to play a traditional instrument. “I think that’s what’s really cool to see in, you know the way music is made today. It’s like, it’s actually less instrumentation and more digital,” he says. He also chats with multiple fans about the blurring boundaries between hip-hop and other genres of popular music. “Hip-hop, now, I think is becoming pop,” he says.
Throughout a lot of the interview and his interactions with fans, Hajj emphasizes the importance of both putting together and executing a game plan. “It’s one thing to have a product, it’s another thing to make sure that that product is put in front of people,” he says, before adding, “It’s just about executing your game plan.” This ethos has driven his managerial style with 2KBABY and is responsible for a lot of the young rapper’s success.
Later in the stream, YC—who co-manages 2KBABY with Danny—jumps on to chat. He and Hajj discuss how it feels to see all of their hard work paying off. “That is like the greatest feeling you ever can have,” YC says, and Hajj adds: “When you see it from the ground up, you really feel like you manifested everything that you put together. And that’s the coolest thing. Because you know you start seeing the dots connect.” They’re both so proud of the work they’ve put out and how far they’ve come, and it’s really amazing to watch them discuss.
Near the end of the episode, Hajj discusses some of the qualifications he looks for in people he works with. He drops a couple of absolute dimes. “It’s not about working with the biggest names, it’s about working with the most passionate people that want to help us bring our visions to life,” he says. He follows that quote by putting it even more beautifully: “It’s about that hunger. Judge somebody on what they strive to achieve, not what they’ve already achieved.”
If you loved this episode and want to hear Mike (and the fans) chop it up with more artists, producers and managers, make sure to check out last week’s episode when he spoke to entertainment consultant Ximena Acosta.
