Fun, light hearted show with lots of guests from the tech sphere . Very inspiring to hear a group of happy people talk about doing what they love for their careers

This podcast has gone downhill following the departure of previous hosts Paul and Sarah. Current host Ben Poppper’s constant evangelizing and drum beating for all things crypto / Web3 / blockchain is a distraction that has slowly but surely nudged me towards unsubscribing from this podcast.
Initially interesting conversations are often inelegantly pulled towards theoretical web3 / blockchain applications despite the topic often having very little direct connection to these speculative and irrelevant tangents (often to the other hosts’ expressed dismay). The conversations would almost always benefit from staying on topic rather than veering hard into crypto-land.

This all doesn't seem to fit the show very well; it's ostensibly a show about the kinds of problems that Stack Overflow solves. If someone goes onto Stack Overflow and asks a question about Ethereum or NFTs or similar topics, their question will be closed as off-topic. If the hosts of this podcast love this topic and want to talk about it, I think they should! But perhaps on a new show, maybe create an Ethereum Stack Exchange podcast.
On the show they’ve recently been talking about Etherium NFTs a lot, and sometimes tangent into discussing cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. These discussions don't involve any software engineering, nor development, nor coding; just Etherium NFTs, how to create and use them, what they are for, supply-and-demand, returns on investment, etc.
