Where To Listen to the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

The Bitcoin Takeover Podcast has been running for more than seven years and now has 372 episodes: long conversations with the builders, heretics, and villains of Bitcoin. You can find it on the usual players: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and any app that pulls the RSS feed. There are also some Podcasting 2.0 destinations that support value-for-value (boosts / streaming sats), that you can find via the Podcast Index.

I listed the show on Podcast Index years ago after wiring up a Lightning node (with a nudge from Blockstream’s Matthew Haywood, whom you can hear on S5 E9). No KYC theater: register the node, submit the feed, confirm an email. From there the show shows up in apps that make listening and tipping frictionless: Fountain, Breez, and other Podcast Index clients. Older podcast apps that only want the RSS will work too.

Pick whatever player you already use. If you want the feed itself, grab it from the archive at bitcoin-takeover.com/audio/. And if you’d rather support the show directly, see the donate page.

Update 2026: I’ve removed Sphinx and the Lightning node hasn’t been online for longer than 3 years.
