The Bad Crypto Podcast

Joel Comm and Travis Wright launched The Bad Crypto Podcast with a simple premise: explain crypto to regular people without taking themselves too seriously. Eight hundred and thirty-eight episodes later, they've built one of the more entertaining shows in a space that can be painfully dry. The "bad" in the name is tongue-in-cheek -- these two aren't beginners, but they deliberately keep things loose and conversational rather than lecturing. The format is mostly the two of them riffing on crypto news, market movements, and industry developments, with guest interviews mixed in biweekly. They cover the usual territory -- Bitcoin cycles, Ethereum updates, altcoin trends, regulatory changes -- but they also wander into tangents about memecoins, crypto security fails, and the genuinely weird corners of blockchain culture. The unscripted style means some episodes are tighter than others, but when they land on a good topic, the back-and-forth is genuinely fun to listen to. Rated 4.5 stars from over 1,000 reviews, the audience clearly responds to the accessibility. Joel and Travis manage to explain concepts like supply chain attacks, tokenomics, and tax implications without making you feel like you're sitting through a lecture. The humor can be hit-or-miss depending on your taste, and the show occasionally leans promotional when covering certain projects. But as an entry point for people who want to understand crypto without drowning in jargon, The Bad Crypto Podcast does something valuable -- it makes a complex subject feel approachable and even enjoyable.
