Description

In this week’s News Not Noise Podcast, we glimpse the future of the world wide web. Our guide is Alex Zhang, the mayor of Friends With Benefits, a popular Web3 community. We talk tokens, NFTs, cryptocurrency, blockchain, decentralization and we define the tech jargon as we go. Zhang explains how the integration of cryptocurrency builds ownership and democracy into the group’s core values from day one. I hope this offers you a way to understand where online community and commerce are headed. Consider it a beginner’s guide.If you want to read definitions for the terms we use here check out the News Not Noise Letter published on April 27, 2022:➤Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.comFriends With Benefits ($FWB)➤Twitter: twitter.com/FWBtweets➤Web: www.fwb.helpYou can follow Jessica Yellin here:➤Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin​➤Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin➤Facebook: facebook.com/newsnotnoise➤YouTube: youtube.com/newsnotnoise➤Website: NewsNotNoise.comSupport this work:➤patreon.com/NewsNotNoiseJessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing facts, not panic attacks.Jessica is a veteran of network news, traveling the globe, covering conflict and crisis.

I’m Jessica Yellin, the founder of News Not Noise. For years, I worked in network news at ABC, MSNBC, and CNN, where I was the Chief White House Correspondent. I’ve reported from around the world and won awards.The more years I got under my belt as a reporter, the more I became convinced that the news doesn't speak to a large part of the audience.In the summer of 2018, I did something different. The midterm elections were approaching and friends asked me to explain what the heck was happening in the political cycle.So, I picked up my phone and began posting short, daily explainer videos on Instagram. What started with me and a ring light is now a small team, dedicated to giving you news in a different voice. We aim to provide facts, not panic attacks. We interview real experts — not pundits. My goal is to provide the understanding you need to engage in the conversation and take action in the world.
