    Chopping block is terrible
    Love Laura but chopping block is a bunch of midwits shilling their own projects and trashing decentralized projects with no vc allocation

    Best Pod on SBF trial
    Thanks for sharing the details in a way that makes me feel like I’m in the courtroom! And thanks for the interviews - you ask questions that help me understand what is happening behind the scenes.
  • Matt_B_W
    Rambling, unprepared, confused host
    If you like imprecise, half-baked, repetitive, long, confusing questions by an interviewer, you’ll love this podcast.

    👍🏼👍🏼
    I don’t know much about crypto, but want to know literally everything about crypto people going rogue in crypto - Laura you’re my new fav podcast esp because you talk like me and make me laugh as these WILD details unfold! Thank you!
  • Kalfisher
    The ftx coverage
    Is second to none. I’m not a crypto person but the host Laura has covered the trial so well, I feel sufficiently able to follow along and am riveted! Thanks for such great work.
  • MikGiant
    Very mature crypto podcast
    Unchained is great! They have on real experts, discuss important crypto and finance topics, explain in depth concepts well, and is all around a fantastic news source and podcast. She loses two stars for her intro still being on every episode. Nothing in crypto screams “look at me I’m special!” More than talking about when you got into crypto and how cool you are for being so early. If we want to be taken seriously by other industries we have to stop this childish nonsense. Michael Barbaro doesn’t start every episode of the daily talking about how he was the first mainstream reporter to do something. Let’s raise the bar on crypto please.

    UnChained is a welcoming digital asset podcast that delivers!
    Ram Ahluwalia really goes into depth on the situation surrounding Genesis and DCG. Made me go into a wormhole of the grayscale trade.
  • Loridans1
    Valuable, but Ms. Shin
    There’s no question this is an extremely informative podcast. But Ms. Shin sounds like an abused spouse or girlfriend. “Oh yes, SBF just beat the crap out of me. Sure, SBF broke my arm, knocked out my teeth. But you know, it’s really my fault, not his”. Grow up, Ms. Shin

    Good for the lols
    The biggest guests are frauds, the editors can’t edit, and the host can’t read.
  • ZZ1949
    Good guests, annoying host
    Like nails on a chalkboard.
  • Decibel Dozer
    Great information but…
    Good podcast, very informative. It’s hard to listen to Haseeb (Chopping Block) because he mumbles and talks low, then normal, then mumbles: Arrrg.
  • graygler
    DC episode
    Smart insights on Washington this week
  • blablayaddayadda
    No Bro Yo
    Intelligent and informed discussion. Highly recommend. I’m a guy sick of hearing guys.
  • Maybeicy
    Eh
    Still haven’t found a good crypto podcast most of my stuff I find is on YouTube
  • Missy Richland
    Very informative
    I have only been listening for the past 2 weeks however there is so much information discuss on this show. If your really in cryptocurrencies then you should most certainly listen to this show.
  • Dutchladle
    Authoritative & Reliable
    I listen to about a dozen podcasts - none more journalistically (in the old-fashioned, quality sense of the word) sound than Laura’s. She is a Rock of Gibraltar in the killer seas of crypto.
  • istemihan1000
    You’re much appreciated
    Thanks for the amazing content Laura. I’m new to the space so I’ve been diving deep into the rabbit hole of Crypto. Thanks to your content that dive has been pretty smooth thus far. I stumbled upon your Ted Talk on YouTube at the ending of 2021, that’s where I learnt about your podcast and I’ve been a devoted listener ever since. Keep up the good work.

    Great interviews
    Thanks Laura for Christmas Eve and so many others this year. A follow up on El Salvador adaption was missed. How this de level ops and grows or fails will be a major news event going forward. I like guest’ discussion on FUD and tribalism. Perhaps the opposite can be COP (Cheerleading, Overvaluing, and Pumping).
  • Hkiugbxsdgnkklnbcds
    ‘No Hype’
    And yet she brings on a professional astrologer. I like the show but that is unprofessional. Going to leave this for a week or two in protest.
  • Mariann!!
    Great show!
    Laura is amazing! This show gives value to their audience.
  • Fashionistagirly1967
    Very Insightful Podcast
    This podcast has incredible and insightful information that is available to the listeners’ fingertips. I am very impressed on the subject of today’s podcast!
  • Nufcrambo
    Insightful information
    Very thought provoking insightful information to learn all the new things in crypto, nft and metaverse. Real admiration for work u do
  • cryptorocks
    Livni Never Again!
    I generally really like Laura’s podcasts. Her guests are usually well informed and very educational. But that Livni guest from The NY Times was horrible! I could not stand to listen to her! What brainless, liberal hack! Please never ask her back onto your show Laura. Your listeners hated her.
  • EricaBushwell
    Awesome podcast!
    Laura, host of the Unchained podcast, highlights all aspects of business, investing and more in this can’t miss podcast! The host and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!
  • obacker19
    Empowering, insightful and actionable! 🙌
    Whether you’re well established as someone who can translate creative energy into the impact you want to have on the crypto community, or just getting started as a catalyst for change - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Laura does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of navigating the constantly shifting industry landscape - while highlighting what you truly need to know - with leaders who’ve actually walked the path. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!
  • Jessca84
    Amazing guests + smart questions
    Unchained is my favorite crypto podcast because Laura’s journalistic approach cuts through the hype. She isn’t afraid to ask billionaires hard questions - a refreshing quality in such a bullish space! Check out the Mark Cuban and Chris Dixon episodes.
  • Fraziertown
    Great Work
    Great episode with Alex Gladstein! 🔥🔥🔥
  • Wine customer
    Not journalism; beware.
    It’s very clear that after listening to Laura for years now that her podcast will not cover certain major projects within the crypto ecosystem that deserve the coverage. Instead she focuses on Ethereum positive related topics primarily. This week’s crypto news recap failed to mention a new crypto exchange/platform that is the best capitalized within the crypto ecosystem. This will lead to more on ramps for crypto as a whole. Zero mention and it’s very obvious that she has an agenda and is not covering unbiased news.

    Puppet for MSM
    Running a Bitcoin podcast as a nocoiner and then inviting buffoons like Vlad is very telling.
  • centra28
    One stop shop for crypto info
    Whether you are new to crypto or deep in the weeds, this is a great podcast! Relevant guests, insights into the industry, and Laura does an amazing job of breaking down the information for even the novice listener. Thank you guys for your great work!
  • Velvet Jones81
    Ahead of the curve
    Always hitting the topic or getting the interview I didn’t know I wanted or that no other show has had. This is one of the best cryptocurrency podcasts.
  • Captain Stank
    Love this!
    Incredible content. Keep it up!
  • Blogilates noob
    Please have someone else read news recap
    I enjoy this podcast and find it informative. Laura is a great interviewer. My only gripe is that the Crypto News Recap section is almost un-listenable, as she reads the headlines and blurbs in a very stilted manner, both in terms of awkward pauses/pacing and errors in reading words.
  • Johnnysayssss
    Intro is the worst
    Seriously, this was the longest and most annoying intro I have ever had to sit through for any podcast. I only say this because it is a huge barrier to listeners. Please consider changing it. The last thing I want is to try to be sold three different times before the podcast even starts
  • Adaobi. N
    Great podcast
    Love unchained! So easy to follow!
  • MitchJ1971
    Solid!
    Timing is 🔑 and Unchained gets you important upcoming information fast! Thank you so much 🙏
  • Jhwahaha
    I like some of it but...
    I am not a fan of this show but I want more Lynn Alden and less Roul.
  • Nickesh23
    Beware
    Listen to fools, lose everything, you’ve been warned
  • NYCMontana
    Big fan...Mind stretch!
    You can geek out on the details or plug in for the big picture. Up to you. Laura does a terrific job of keeping the conversation on topic and on task. I listen to a lot of different podcasts - few have the mind-stretching qualities of Unchained. Also, if you haven’t realized we are at the tipping point of the biggest shift in our civilization in probably 500 years, plug in or go back to your 8-track.
  • Tommyyy96
    Amazing Podcast
    I listen to a lot of blockchain podcasts and this one is by far the most educational. Laura Shin does an incredible job to bring thought leaders from the blockchain space. She styles episodes in a way that both new comers and people involved in crypto 24/7 can enjoy.
  • Headshow
    Excellent
    I love how the host’s questions are almost ALL the who/what/where/when/why/how type and avoids assuming answers for the guests or putting forth potential responses at the end of questions. I can’t stand when people do that! Laura also asks “tough” questions and seems averse to softball lines of inquiry. Bravo.
  • T3R1K
    Without a doubt the best crypto podcast
    Amazing guests combined with Laura’s insightful questions and deep knowledge make it always both illuminating and a delight to listen.
  • Valentino-5
    Laura is not afraid of asking difficult questions
    Putting a guest in the hot seat is what makes this podcast great. Keep it up Laura!
  • capitalist pig
    Decent pod.
    Wish it were more libertarian though
  • Greyscaleg
    Best in the space
    Laura has put together space on "blockchain" and crypto that will keep you up to date with the news, people and events. A must weekly listen.
  • Iron Condor PA
    One of best podcasts in crypto
    I have been listening to Unchained and now Unconfirmed since the beginning. They are my number one go to source for news and information in the Crypto space. Laura Shin is an amazing interviewer and writer. She asks insightful and pointed questions. Somehow she is able to land the best guests. From CEOs to founders, from investers to inventros of the major companies and projects in the Crypto space. When I introduce people to Crypto and they ask for more information, I always point them to Unchained and Unconfirmed podcasts.
  • BecPow
    Informative
    Thanks! 🚀
  • novchron
    Stays on point
    Wow , I’m really blown away by all the relevant content on crypto. I’ve been trading since 2015 and this is the best crypto podcast out there at the moment😇😊.
  • Drakius32
    Bitcoin OG & excellent interviewer
    Laura has an excellent approach to her interviews. Her insights and questions are fair, yet pressing upon important issues surrounding bitcoin. Highly recommend checking out this pod if you want to learn more about bitcoin from someone who’s seen a lot go down.
  • tmoindustries
    Great but tough interviewer
    Laura allows the guest to tell their story and craft their narrative but does not let them off the hook. She asks tough questions which helps reveal the real story in hyped field.
