Radio Detox brings the artists &amp; builders in the Bitcoin + Nostr space directly to you.

Heather Larson sits down with Ivy Lumi, musician, Bitcoiner, and podcaster, for a conversation about music, self-love, and why love and Bitcoin might just be on the same frequency. Ivy shares the story behind her debut EP, the making of her first-ever music video for the single WoWoWow (shot in Hong Kong after Bitcoin Asia), and how a period of profound personal loss became the spark that launched her music career. From songs inspired by Bitcoin conference cities to a Geyser Fund campaign built around physical collectors items, Ivy is building something rare: art that lives fully in the value-for-value ecosystem and speaks to everyone, Bitcoiner or not.

Trey Musgrave went from shitcoining in Germany to building a Bitcoin circular economy in Washington, DC. As president of the Bitcoin District Initiative, he's hitting the streets to onboard merchants, build community, and prove that Bitcoin is for everyone, not just the rich. We talk about the soft-sell approach to orange-pilling local businesses, why meetups matter more than most Bitcoiners realize, and how Trey uniquely came to value-for-value music through his search for decentralization.
Topics: Trey's Bitcoin origin story, the What Is Money? podcast, the difference between Bitcoin District and the Bitcoin District Initiative, building a spending community, the Peruvian Brothers, PubKey's 21% Bitcoin discount, the Great Mid-Atlantic Bitcoin Meetup, value-for-value music, and what it actually takes to create a local circular economy.

Frank Corva went from covering presidents to covering protocol. In this episode, the former White House correspondent shares his unexpected path into Bitcoin journalism, the burnout that comes with 24/7 news cycles, and why he sees Nostr as the next frontier for independent media. We dig into the Bitcoin circular economy, why onboarding matters more than ever, and the unique challenges women face in the space. Plus: how the DIY ethos of punk rock mirrors the decentralized spirit of Bitcoin.
Topics Covered
<ul>
<li>Frank's journey from White House correspondent to Bitcoin journalist</li>
<li>Burnout and the brutal pace of the news cycle</li>
<li>How the Trump administration opened doors for new media voices</li>

In this Radio Detox episode, I sit down with Seth, creator of Zap.Cooking and longtime Nostr builder, to trace his journey from the early Damus days in February 2023 to today’s vibrant, builder-led Nostr ecosystem. We explore why Nostr felt like the constructive side of the internet compared to legacy platforms, how Lightning and zaps transformed interactions, and why portable identity + Bitcoin make Nostr a uniquely powerful foundation for everyday apps. Seth shares the origin story of Zap.Cooking—from snagging the domain and posting a bounty for the first build to today’s curated, clutter-free recipe hub that prioritizes usable recipes over ad-stuffed backstories. We dig into community features like the new pyramid-style “Garden” relay, how submissions rise through recency and curation, and the culture of real conversations that’s driving Nostr forward. We also highlight Seth’s newer, vibe-coded projects: Grateful Day (a daily gratitude and affirmation app that posts to Nostr) and SoberKey (a decentralized sobriety support space modeled on 12-step principles). Along the way we talk about attracting non-technical users with simple, purpose-built apps, the growing IRL scene (Nostr Valley returns this October), and the momentum of value-for-value music via Fountain and Wavlake—where listeners can stream sats directly to artists. If you’re Nostr-curious, love food, or want to build community without platform capture, this conversation is a practical blueprint for what’s working—and what’s next.

Avi and I get deep into talking about podcasting 2.0, the kind of podcasting that is free and open. It takes Bitcoin payments peer-to-peer, which benefits indie music artists as well as podcasters who want an alternative to running ads and being stuck in Apple &amp; Spotify. (Many want to ditch Spotify on principle now because they’ve run ads for ICE. Radio Detox isn’t on Spotify and that is my choice). You don’t need to run ads in podcasting 2.0 because monetization is built in via the the technology. Avi has his own podcast, Plebchain Radio, that’s been using new tech from Fountain and I’ve been excited to finally talk to Avi about how that’s going. There’s a lot he has to say and, oddly, he held a little back, too. ;) In short, Avi is creatively on fire with PCR! We also discuss the recent NostrVille 3.0 event held in Nashville in October 2025 at Bitcoin Park, the evolution of Nostr, and how Avi &amp; QW’s Plebchain Radio came to be. Avi shares insights on the importance of community, the ideological alignment among Bitcoiners, and the transition to Podcasting 2.0 with Fountain. The conversation also explores the integration of indie music into podcasts, the challenges of advertising, and the freedom of independent podcasting. Overall, the discussion highlights the vibrant and evolving intersection of the Bitcoin and podcasting communities. Avi and I are sharing out thoughts about new things in podcasting, particularly focusing on Podcasting 2.0 and its implications for creative freedom. We explore the concept of 'home' through Avi's docu-series 'Finding Home,’ discussing personal identity and the journey of becoming expats from the fiat world into the Bitcoin ecosystem. We also touch on challenges and strategies for transitioning from fiat to Bitcoin.

Nostr, Bitcoin, and the Quest for Home with Avi Burra

Avi Burra

In this episode of Radio Detox, I play a handpicked, non-countdown mix of my favorite independent tracks of 2025—no talking over ramps, no filler, just discovery. We kick off with Shredders and cruise through chilled textures from the Greensands, then spotlight the astonishing output of Tanzania’s Man Like Kweks and his Bitcoin Arusha education initiative. I share why Podcasting 2.0 matters—chapters, value-for-value zaps, and wallet-to-wallet support—and shout out artists thriving in the Valueverse, from Two Weeks in Nashville to Jawbone, Dirt Moon, and UK grinder Robbie P. I tell a few stories from the road, including meeting the irreverent storyteller Sarah Jade and watching her mobilize and uplift women artists, plus quick hits that brought my family together via La Tech House. We wrap with favorites from Ollie and FM Rodeo before settling into a long-form closer: Matthias McIntire’s 11.5-minute The Forest Reclaims the Land—a nod to proof-of-work artistry. Here’s to more Nostr, open-source tools, and longer songs in 2026. Featured artists and tracks mentioned include: Shredders (Florida Mandem, Shit Rules, Snerfs Up), the Greensands (Breathe), Man Like Kweks (Bitcoin Arusha), Two Weeks in Nashville (Underachiever), Jawbone (Horizons of Hope), Dirt Moon (Palynopsia), Sarah Jade (Hippies Raised a Cowgirl), Robbie P (Lessons of Regret), Longing (Bring It All Back Home to You Now), Dickie Tune Turret (La Tech House), Ollie (Lost Summer), FM Rodeo (Elephant Nightmare), and Matthias McIntire (The Forest Reclaims the Land).
