On "The Purple Pod", Episode 9 of ZEROPOD, Toady Hawk and Robotfishgirl sit down with artist and 2-time non-DAO founder Chris Carella. 

We learn about his career and crypto journey, chat about his role as one of the founders of the Farcaster-supporting collective “Purple DAO” and the artist-supporting collective “Energy,” and we ask him for his thoughts on the recent Nouns DAO fork as well. 

We hope you enjoy this casual conversation with this prolific nounish builder— please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE if you do!
