Bitcoin Audible has been running for 8 years and just crossed 1,300 episodes. That's not a podcast, that's an archive. What Swann built is something different from a typical interview show. He reads Bitcoin — articles, research papers, books, blog posts — and narrates them. The entire written history of the protocol, distilled into audio. Millions of downloads, and growing.
