• Host the Podcast: You'll be directly responsible for planning, scripting, hosting, and recording two episodes of the show per week.

• Develop Podcast Content: You'll work to design and develop the content and themes for the overall series format and each episode, using the latest news and events in the crypto and macro industries to help inform topics.

• Build the Brand IRL: In partnership with other Blockworks team members, you'll help grow the brand by representing the show at in-person events, including listener meet-ups, Hackathons, Blockworks Conferences, and more.
