When Shift Happens

When Shift Happens is a crypto and Web3 podcast hosted by Kevin Follonier that focuses on in-depth conversations with founders, builders, and thought leaders across the blockchain ecosystem. The podcast distinguishes itself through longer-form interview formats that explore the human stories behind crypto projects, rather than just price speculation. Topics range from DeFi and NFTs to broader Web3 culture and entrepreneurship, offering listeners a more nuanced perspective on the industry. The production quality is solid, and Follonier's interviewing style allows guests to elaborate on complex topics. However, the podcast remains relatively niche compared to established names like Bankless or Unchained, with a smaller audience footprint and less frequent episode cadence. The newsletter component appears to be supplementary rather than a standalone offering, providing episode summaries and occasional market commentary. For listeners seeking thoughtful, narrative-driven crypto content beyond daily market noise, it's a worthwhile addition to one's rotation, though it may lack the depth of dedicated research-focused newsletters.
