Nostrovia - The Original Nostr Podcast

Stuart Bowman and I spent the last two months in Madeira as part of the first Sovereign Engineering Cohort and thought it would be a good idea to record one of our conversations for the podcast.

We discuss the future of nostr and bitcoin, Stuart's project (satellite.earth), nostrocket, the empire, the biosphere, aliens.
