Beyond The Beat

A Not-So-Healthy Chat Between Two Crypto Hacks With Mat Di Salvo


Listen Later

Mat is a Colombia-based reporter for Decrypt and one of the best journalists in crypto.


This week, we dive into a whole series of topics, from writing the perfect headline (which neither has come even remotely close to), an epic rant about AI, why the media is pretty much [redacted], and what's up with journalists becoming PR people?


This one comes with some editorial fun!
