Radio detox is a V4V show for plebs that brings the artists &amp; builders directly to you.


You have Aaron to thank for orange pilling Longy and getting him on Wavlake! But what does that mean? And how did that happen? And…now what? Are they coming to iMerica or what? 
We talk about where these two friends are at in their journey of value-for-value and harnessing the power of Bitcoin. We also talk about Man Like Kweks, wallet splits, some of our favorite songs, the London music scene, and so much more. 
I also decided to do something in radio that we called “tracking an album,” which really just means I’m playing the entire Longy “You’ve Got Yourself EP” because I can. I play the bulk of the Longy songs at the END of the podcast and don’t talk between the songs. I don’t need to talk; Radio Detox is ONLY on podcasting 2.0 apps, so you get chapters and artwork. 😉 
Now, listen and chill! Let the detox begin… We’re bringing rock n’ roll BACK! 🔥 
<h2>Here’s the song list: </h2>
<ul>
<li>Joe Martin Empty Passenger Seat </li>

Radio Detox Episode 5: Dovydas Joksas of RSS Blue

Dovydas Joksas

Where is this whole thing going and what are we trying to do with value for value? How does live music fit in? How can independent artists get a piece of V4V? 
For episode 4 of Radio Detox, I’m talking with OpenMike, founder of <a href="http://Tunestr.io">Tunestr.io</a>. This podcast features (mostly) Phantom Power Music artists and OpenMike has chosen for his guest split to go to Phantom Power Media to support what they’re doing in the Valueverse with independent artists. 
In this episode, we talk about how OpenMike started Tunestr—and why. He also shares his Bitcoin story. You’ll hear what it’s like to work in the traditional music business while operating Tunestr in the Valueverse. He shares what it was like to compete with the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville with Bands at Bitcoin. Since he’s worked with the bands on this podcast, you’ll also hear his insight into what these performers are like and why we love their music. 
What happens when you bring together two sober Bitcoiners who love music &amp; cats? Lots of fun stories and predictions on where the world of V4V, Nostr, and Bitcoin are headed. 🚀

Radio Detox Episode 4: OpenMike

Phantom Power Media via OpenMike

On this 3rd episode of Radio Detox, I talk with Abel James, a blues artist in the Valueverse whose music you can hear on Wavlake, Fountain, and LNBeats. He’s the New York Times Best Selling Author of The Wild Diet, and all around interesting dude. I think he’s the perfect guy to help us detox off the food pyramid…fiat music, and more. 
It’s no secret Bitcoiners don’t follow conventions in money, food, or culture. We like steak, fat, sound money, and Valueverse music. Let’s wrap this all up in a pretty bow with Abel James! I’m excited to share this interview because we talk about some of his favorite experiences in the Valueverse so far. He’s only been here for a couple of months! You wouldn’t believe it when you listen. Maybe he was born to be here, right now, with all the rest of us. 
He’s got a firm grasp of all the problems we have in social media, podcasting, live music, and recorded music. I’m still kinda bummed I haven’t seen him play yet, but he technically was on stage in Nashville for Bands at Bitcoin. He just wasn’t performing. Though he did co-write a song with JustLoud live on stage—which we will get into. 
Abel feels like a brother already because he just kinda popped into view and already has the same friends I do. Perhaps it’s because everyone is so welcoming in this space. I think he’s a great example of how jumping into the world of value-for-value can rapidly change your life as an artist for the better.

Radio Detox Episode 3: Abel James

Abel James

Sara Jade is a great example of an artist who has detoxed off the fiat music system. She shares some great stories about that here. She’s done two live shows in the Valueverse in Phoenix at our Nostr PHX Culture Shock in February, and more recently, during bands at Bitcoin adjacent to the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville. 
Do you have to leave the fiat music system? No. As Sara Jade informs us, you still kinda “have to be everywhere.” But it’s clear which system rewards musicians more—and it ain’t fiat, honey. 
If you are a musician, this episode is a great “V4V 101” college course. No student loans required!
