In this episode, Carly brings on Rug Radio's Founder, Farokh and Tokenomics Advisor, Mel to discuss the fascinating complexities of this innovative project.

The potential of this project to become an HBS case study one day is high (to say the least). There's also a very good chance that Rug Radio will be the reason traditional media companies start building their own web3 teams or pivoting their business models completely. Why is Rug Radio the future? What does world-class decentralized media look like? How exactly is Rug Radio rewriting the traditional media playbook?
