ZEROPOD ONCHAIN, Ep. 20: Deana from BoysClub!

It's the crossover episode you never knew you needed -- on episode 20 of ZEROPOD, our very last episode of 2023, BoysClub cofounder Deana Burke joins us to talk about building a community media organization on the new "ownable internet." We hear about her background, how BoysClub came to be, and what to expect in 2024, with many more interesting topics sprinkled throughout. We really enjoyed this conversation with Deana, and we hope you will too!
