The Bad Crypto Podcast & The Bad AI Show
Two technologists and long-time crypto enthusiasts demystify blockchain and, increasingly, the world of generative AI.
What began as a guide to the 2017 crypto boom has evolved into a real-time workshop for the AI creator explosion. While still covering major Bitcoin news and market cycles, the show's energy is now focused on the hosts' own experiments with generative AI. Episodes are a mix of market commentary and mad-scientist demos where the hosts build apps, compose music, and generate animated videos in minutes using the latest AI tools.
“Unlike shows that just discuss AI news, the hosts' "build-in-public" approach is their signature. They actively use, demonstrate, and sometimes break AI tools on-air, turning the podcast into a live-action chronicle of the generative AI landscape.”
Who hosts this show
Broadcasting since 2017, The Bad Crypto Podcast features hosts Joel Comm and Travis Wright discussing news and trends in the world of cryptocurrency. Initially focused on demystifying Bitcoin, blockchain, and ICOs for newcomers, the show has heavily pivoted to include hands-on exploration of generative artificial intelligence. The hosts now frequently build and demonstrate AI-powered projects like songs, videos, and apps live on the air.
