Thanks @Sixty

We plan to continue the OSPN podcast, and will be creating new content soon. The theme of our next series will be on web3 educational tutorials, to show exactly how to use certain DAO tools.

This is great @jarisjames .
I love that you add links to Rari in every episode description. Would be super cool to see a small insert in the middle of the episodes to talk a bit more about Rari :slight_smile:

Also, I was thinking of this:

I’m wondering if there have been any successful collaborations that have emerged from the twitter spaces. Or projects considering deploying on Rari after participating in these episodes or joining as listeners.
