Episode 18 of the Zero Rights Reserved Podcast is a special one because it’s the first time we’ve ever streamed an interview live. We did so on the Unlonely web3 streaming platform, which only seemed natural, as ZEROPOD’s Toady Hawk and ProfWerder were hosting Grace and Brian Guan, the founders of Unlonely!

We talked to them about their individual onchain journeys, why they decided to tackle the difficult issue of decentralized web 3 streaming, their recent hit web series “Love on Leverage”, what’s coming next, and more!
