Greenpill Podcast Guest Seasons - Call for Proposals!

🧙 🧙‍♀️ Ideas and Open Discussion
1

TLDR - I am going to step away from the Greenpill Podcast in Q3/Q4 2024 + am looking for ppl to guest cohost during that time.

Hi all,

For those of you who are unaware, I have been hosting the Greenpill Podcast for the last 2 years. This podcast has been a way I can democratize my context + access to the rest of the ecosystem, research in public, vision-cast, and generally just explore the frontiers of regen web3.

We’ve produced nearly 200 episodes and have had 300k+ listens, as well as about ~2k subscribers. I’m very proud of the content we’ve created and the role Greenpill has played in supporting the regen movement.

But I think it is time to evolve it forward.

I am considering decentralizing my hosting duties for seasons 5, 6, and 7 to guest co-hosts who can go deep on a handful of different target niches.

Why do this?

  1. I am busy with Gitcoin stuff and dont have cycles to do another season of GP (and do it well) with my current workload.
  2. Decentralizing the workload (and the spotlight) to other leaders in the GP community.
  3. Enabling people to go deep in areas where I dont have access.

Some topics I would love to see covered in season 4,5,6:

  1. Commons in the 21st century
  2. ReStaking Ecosystem <> Regen Ecosystems
  3. Regen Network States
  4. Weird/Fun Fundraising Experiments
  5. Crypto in the Global South
  6. What am I missing?

If you are interested in being a host of a season, please submit a proposal via comment below.

Risks

  1. Need to keep content quality high.
  2. The audience knows kevin, need to transfer rapport to new hosts.

This is a great opportunity and thanks for sharing it with all of us @owocki
I along with @LauNaMu would like to propose a season we are excited to host!

Season Title: Summer of RetroRounds
Season Goals: Our primary objective is to delve into the intricacies of Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RPGF) and examine its multifaceted phases and potential designs. This exploration will enable our listeners to gain a comprehensive understanding of how RPGF rounds are designed and the nuances involved in their execution.

Why is this relevant to the greenpill audience in H2 2024?
RPGF is one of the most innovative mechanisms in the Public Goods Space now, a lot of the audience of Greenpill podcast has been involved directly or indirectly in the implementation of this mechanism and it’s different designs, hence it would be relevant to explore the design space of retro rounds in depth and the outcomes they have led to.

Timeline
The first cohort of Ezrpgf concludes in June 2024. We aim to schedule our podcast episodes for July, providing a timely reflection on the outcomes of Cohort 1, great synergies with programming during EthCC, and set the space for the second cohort of Ezrpgf. This will also serve as an ideal platform to discuss potential innovations and improvements for future rounds. However we are flexible with the schedule.

Proposed Episodes + Guests

  1. Setting the stage: This episode sets the stage for the season in which we discuss the development of the Cohort training sessions followed by pilot cohort, learnings and open the forum to the Study cases of the first Cohort.
  2. Round 1 of FILRPGF: A discussion with the Filecoin team, including Tom and Kiran.
  3. Exploring Round 1 with POKT: An episode dedicated to understanding the unique aspects and results of collaborating with POKT.
  4. Retro Funding Rounds 4 and 5: Featuring RFP builders, this episode will explore the builds. For eg: 1.the West team on their development of the platform for rounds 3 + 4 and 2. MACI team on taking a privacy spin at ezRPGF
  5. Innovation Opportunities: A session with Jonas to jam on uncharted areas within RF that could benefit from innovative approaches.
  6. Future of RetroFunding: Evaluating the role of committees or citizen involvement in upcoming Retro rounds with Optimism (OP), forecasting the evolution of community engagement.

I really enjoyed the 3 part series with Daniel Schmachtenberger covering the metacrisis. I particularly enjoyed part 2 on Superstructures and his insights into conflict theory and its application to design.

Do you have time to record 5-15 episodes in the next couple quarters?

Yes

How will you ensure the episode is quality + relevant to the audience?

Generally, I prepare each episode with a narrative in mind that is backed by research of the topic and the speaker involved. In a shared document, I establish the goals of the discussion and provide each speaker with a general outline of the proposed talk and allow them to modify the content, questions, and format to help create a narrative of their work that aligns with the goals of the discussion.

This collaborative process has worked very well in the past as it allows each of us to be better prepared for the recording of the episode. At the end of the day, I want to enable honest conversations and allow for the speakers to express their viewpoints without influence or prompting.

Thanks again! Looking forward to see how the GreenPill Podcast evolves!

Additionally, they are “customer-facing” daily in their contributor roles and comfortable in public speaking and engaging with others. Their deep understanding of the Web3 grants landscape, strong communication skills, and ability to engage with various stakeholders position them well to deliver high-quality, informative, and engaging episodes.

Relevance to the Regen Ecosystem

The Crypto Grant Wire season will highlight projects, initiatives, and funding opportunities that align with the values and goals of the regenerative ecosystem. By showcasing grants that support social good, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment, the hosts aim to inspire and inform listeners about the potential of Web3 funding to drive positive change. The hosts’ expertise and networks within the Gitcoin ecosystem will ensure the season remains relevant and valuable to the Greenpill audience.

Favorite Greenpill Episode

Sov’s favorite Greenpill episode is the discussion on coordination mechanisms with Griff Green and Kevin Owocki. Their exploration into various coordination approaches, such as quadratic funding and DAOs, and how these mechanisms can support public goods, foster community engagement, and drive positive change made this episode an invaluable resource. I have recommended it to at least 100 people, as it is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of decentralized collaboration and the potential of Web3 to drive positive change.

Availability and Commitment

The hosts are fully committed to dedicating the time and resources necessary to plan, record, and deliver a high-quality season of the Greenpill Podcast. With the support of their networks and the flexibility to allocate their time effectively, they can produce ten episodes within the proposed timeline, covering various topics related to Web3 grants and featuring insights from a diverse group of thought leaders and experts.

Quality Assurance and Relevance

To ensure the quality and relevance of each episode, the hosts will leverage their extensive knowledge of the Web3 grants space, tap into their networks of experts and thought leaders, and continuously monitor the latest developments and trends in the ecosystem. By connecting closely to the community’s pulse and engaging with the Greenpill audience, the hosts will strive to deliver timely, informative, and actionable content, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the grant landscape and the tools to navigate it effectively.

Thoughts and comments are welcome. We appreciate your consideration!

Stoked to be part of this proposal. I have been going deep down the rabbit hole of allocation mechanism and methodologies and it would be great to share the learnings we are getting from testing programs in the wild as part of Thrive Protocol and the Thank ARB program.

@Sov @sejalrekhan and I always have a blast hosting Gitcoin Twitter spaces together and I think this would be a natural extension of that vibe. Thanks for putting this together Sov. :fire:

Huge fan of GreenPill of course and it would be an honour to play a role in its evolution. :vulcan_salute:t3:

Gm. Thanks for the opportunity to submit this proposal . Huge fan of Greenpill. Here’s a proposal from V DAO

Season Title: Building Regenerative Network States

Season Goals: We’ll explore the building blocks of regenerative network states with key leaders in the field. This series will give listeners a deeper understanding of what tools and approaches can help us transition out of the meta-crisis and into a more regenerative and anti-fragile paradigm.

Why is this relevant to the greenpill audience in H2 2024?

The Greenpill audience has been interested in Metacrisis themes and topics for some time. It’s very easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis and even emotional overwhelm in response to these issues. A key question remains, how can we build the third attractor? We believe that the answer lies in the regenerative network states space and we want to introduce the audience to practical regenerative and antifragile solutions that are high tech, high nature and high humanity.

Timeline

Q3 / Q4 2024

Proposed Episodes + Guests

  1. The Next Supercycle

    This episode sets the stage for the season by discussing the evolution of human civilization, the challenges facing us today, where we are in the current supercycle, and what the next supercycle looks like.

    Guests: Joseph Lubin, Rob Avis, Marc Ziade

  2. Beyond Sustainability: Regenerative Living

    Introducing the concept of regenerative living, focusing on partnering with nature and leveraging technology to usher into a positive future.
