This Old Marketing - News Podcast Weekly with Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose

Yuga Labs gets $450 million, giving it a $4 billion dollar valuation. Robert is suspect whether the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunks owner can drive that much value. Joe, of course, completely disagrees. In other news, Time and Stella drop new NFT projects, while Morning Brew announces a series of in-person events.

Rants and raves includes an amazing Web3 piece from the New York Times and a rant about what channels Web3 creators will use to communicate with fans.
