On this episode of Rehash, we speak with fellow podcaster, Nick Hollins, about the creator economy, web3 communities, and building a collectively curated onchain radio at UFO. Nick is the creator of UFO and co-founder of Apollo, the creative lab that produces UFO.

The creator economy has grown in leaps and bounds since the early 2000s with the introduction of blogging, to Youtube’s emergence, to social media and influencer marketing. The more recent implementation of blockchain technology, cryptography, and what we now see as the overarching web3 space to the creator economy has introduced a plethora of new funding and ownership tools we never saw before. 

Creators are now able to directly own and monetize their works, tokenize their intellectual property rights, share revenue with co-creators and collaborators transparently, automate payments, engage with their fans more meaningfully, and much more.

Our guest, Nick, comes from a traditional community radio background in Australia and now uses a lot of his learnings from that world to build UFO, which is aspiring to be an onchain radio and club for creators and consumers of media.

We talk about all of this and more and wrap up with an unexpectedly eerie explain your tweet segment at the end that triggers Diana’s deepest fears.
