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

In this lively, on-the-ground episode from Antone’s in Austin and later Bitcoin Park in Nashville, I sit down with emerging R&amp;B/soul artist Kathryn for her first-ever podcast interview and a follow-up nearly a year later. When I say lively, I mean we're interrupted by none other than the Podfather himself, Adam Curry. Then we're interrupted by Ainsley's Momager, which also happened in Nashville (though I edit that one out). Ainsley Costello also makes an appearance in the Antone's/Austin interview! We talk about Kathryn's grind of breaking into music post-Belmont, her detour through commission sales and what it taught her about rejection, and how discovering value-for-value (V4V + Nostr + Bitcoin) lit a new path beyond the saturated DSP model. Kathryn shares the story behind her first Fountain.fm release, “Socrates,” why she leans into R&amp;B despite Nashville roots, and how she’s using instant, direct splits to pay her producer—setting culture and precedent in a new artist-first ecosystem. We get candid about learning Bitcoin and Nostr from scratch, the stigma and marketing hurdles, and practical ways Gen Z artists can onboard without sacrificing their art. Along the way, you’ll hear about community wins, live-radio boosts, and Kathryn’s expanding music catalog—“Lemons,” “Body,” “Scoot,” “Canvas,” “Relevance,” and “What Comes Next”—plus concrete ideas for better tools, artist portals, and college outreach that could help indie music thrive in a freedom-tech future. If you’re an artist or builder curious about direct fan support, instant splits, and keeping your creative control, this episode maps the messy, exciting middle—what’s working, what’s missing, and how you can jump in now to help shape what comes next.

All of that's to say the best compliment that I got when somebody heard this song for the first time, they literally, they look…

I can sing. I can do my little jig on the piano, but 10,000,000,000 other people can do the same exact thing and probably do it…

What I've learned is never expect anything to be concrete.

Chris Wenske played at HODLWEEN 2024 and is one of the KC Bitcoiners! He’s the Producer of Bitcoin Block Party KC, Bitcoin Party KC and Organizer of Jondo Media events.
He’s got events this weekend in Austin, Texas—Bitcoin Country! 
Check it out: <a href="https://astralaurastudio.com/shop/p/bitcoin-party-kc-export-party">https://astralaurastudio.com/shop/p/bitcoin-party-kc-export-party</a>
There’s more info Chris gives out on the podcast that maybe he shouldn’t…  
Did we mention Chris is a #V4V musician? I’ve played him before on Radio Detox (Season 1, episode 8 about HODLWEEN 2024). But this time around, we get to hear him tell the story behind his songs. 
We have to talk about v4v, collaboration, the magic of Bitcoin events, building stuff, the Bitcoin circular economy, Air BTC, and much more.

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>
<li>Vertigo Kid - Pirate Radio</li>
<li>More Rogue Money - Man Like Kweks</li>
<li>The Trusted - The Lightning</li>
<li>Longy - iMerica</li>
<li>Longy - The Underclass</li>
<li>Longy - Trust In Life</li>
<li>Longy - Katherines Wheel  </li>
</ul>

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.
