Welcome to a very special milestone of the Untangling Web3 podcast – our 100th episode!

In this celebratory edition, we take a step back to reflect on how far the podcast has come, the incredible evolution of Web3 and emerging tech during this journey, and the community that has grown around us.

From humble beginnings with scratchy audio and no video to live events, high-profile guests, and over 175,000 YouTube subscribers, this episode is both a nostalgic trip and an optimistic look forward.

Key highlights:

Podcast Growth and Milestones: Jack and Alec reflect on the early days of Untangling Web3 and how it grew from a side project into a thriving podcast with a global audience. They discuss significant moments including the first live event, guest highlights like Heather Flannery and King Willonius, and the podcast’s shift into broader tech conversations such as AI and quantum computing. From awkward first episodes to major speaking engagements and reaching 100K+ subscribers, it's been a wild and rewarding ride.

Industry Shifts and Emerging Trends: The episode revisits the major changes in the tech space since episode one, with a focus on the rise of AI, the steady evolution of crypto and blockchain, and growing concerns over privacy, data ownership, and social media monopolies. The hosts highlight how these themes have shaped discussions across the last 100 episodes and point to AI misinformation, stablecoins, and decentralized social platforms like BlueSky as key areas of focus moving forward.

The Future of the Podcast and Web3: Looking ahead, Alec and Jack share their excitement for the next 100 episodes, promising deeper dives into underexplored tech areas like robotics, drones, and self-sovereign identity. With the podcast now receiving inbound guest requests and growing industry recognition, they plan to continue building community, hosting live events, and pushing the boundaries of what a Web3-focused podcast can cover in an ever-changing tech world.

Hitting 100 episodes is a major milestone, but for Alec and Jack, it's just the beginning. As the Web3, blockchain, and tech landscape continue to shift rapidly, Untangling Web3 remains committed to offering insightful, entertaining, and thought-provoking conversations.

Whether you've been with them since episode one or just joined, thank you for being part of the journey. Here's to the next hundred—and beyond—as we continue to explore, review, and evolve with the tech shaping our future.
