CoinDesk Podcast Network

CoinDesk has been the paper of record for crypto since 2013, and their podcast network brings that newsroom credibility to audio. With over 2,000 episodes updated daily, this isn't a single show so much as an umbrella feed that collects multiple CoinDesk programs -- including CoinDesk Daily, The Blockspace Pod, and Markets Outlook segments -- into one subscription. Hosts Zack Seward and Jennifer Sanasie lead the daily briefings, with other journalists rotating in for specialized coverage. The daily format is the main draw. Episodes typically run 20 to 30 minutes and cover the previous day's most important crypto developments: Bitcoin price movements, mining industry updates, regulatory actions, institutional partnerships, and exchange news. It's efficient -- you get caught up on what matters without committing to an hour-long conversation. The longer interview segments bring in executives from companies like Franklin Templeton and Binance for more in-depth discussion. At 4.7 stars from 641 ratings, the audience appreciates the professional newsroom approach. The criticism tends to center on ad frequency relative to episode length, which is noticeable in shorter episodes. The coverage can also feel surface-level compared to dedicated single-topic shows, but that's the trade-off for breadth. Think of this as your crypto morning newspaper in podcast form. It's not trying to be the deepest show on any one topic -- it's trying to be the most reliable daily summary of everything happening across the industry. For that purpose, the CoinDesk brand and their reporting infrastructure make this hard to beat.
