\nCrypto podcasts have been newcomers\u2019 go-to source of information, helping bring crypto into the mainstream. Podcasters must remember, however, that fresh faces are constantly tuning in as they grow.
\nWhile you may say, \u201cFOMO, buy the dip, ignore the FUD because WAGMI,\u201d your poor listener \u2014 tuning in for the first time just trying to learn crypto \u2014 might decide learning Spanish is easier.
\nPodcasters are more vital to crypto\u2019s adoption rate than ever
\nKeeping regular listeners engaged is important, but so is making sure newbies, who are only listening because they\u2019re sick of hearing their mates brag about crypto at work, can follow along, too.
\nYou can see this balance pulled off well in some of the biggest crypto podcasts out there. Crypto podcasts that cater to the hodler and the novice enjoy dedicated followings and high view counts, whether the market is feeling bullish or bearish.\u00a0
\nSome worry that making things newbie-friendly will turn off industry professionals, but that\u2019s not the case. Even the experts appreciate simplified content \u2014 it helps them stay on top of the week without digging through all the noise themselves.
\nHow do you get that balance right? Work in the week\u2019s biggest news, and it\u2019ll appeal to everyone \u2014 whether they\u2019re new to crypto or industry veterans. Even if it\u2019s just a segment of your podcast, crypto enthusiasts at any level love having a go-to podcast that sums up the week before they\u2019ve even had their morning coffee.
\nCrypto\u2019s accessibility problem
\nAccessibility has always been one of crypto\u2019s biggest hurdles. The tech, the endless list of coins, even Web3-powered video games \u2014 many see it all as too complicated, unnecessary or just another scam. Some of these views represent a misunderstanding at best and outright ignorance at worst.
\nOn the flip side, podcasters talk about quantum-resistant blockchains, unlimited transactions per second or Ethereum\u2019s dreaded Surge, Verge, Purge and Splurge malarky.\u00a0
\nThere is a delicate balance
\nPodcasters can play a key role in moving blockchain solutions further into the mainstream by helping to overcome the high knowledge entry requirements we\u2019ve seen previously.
\nThere is a balance, however, as nobody wants to listen to an explainer podcast that feels like a weekly dictionary of crypto-bro jargon. The key is for podcasters to imagine they are in a room with a friend who knows nothing about crypto and someone who\u2019s already clued in. Create content that works for both. If jargon is a must, which is often in this niche, a \u201chere\u2019s what we mean when we say this\u201d now and then can go a long way to avoid alienating newcomers.
\nNon-technical terms like \u201cWAGMI\u201d and \u201cNGMI\u201d should be spelled out instead of gatekeeping if we want to see retail swarm exchanges.\u00a0
\nMake it as easy as possible for the audience
\nSeveral successful podcasts do a great job of providing timestamps in their podcast episodes, which often run longer than an hour. If an audience member can quickly understand what is included in the podcast and navigate to the sections most interesting to them, this will only strengthen engagement and loyalty.
\nAdditionally, similes, analogies, metaphors and outright storytelling can help demystify some harder-to-grasp crypto concepts.\u00a0
\nThere are so many ways that podcasters can help rather than hinder the mainstream adoption of crypto. In any discipline, providing clear and concise information so that audiences can make more informed decisions is a responsibility \u2014 why should crypto podcasts be any different?
