Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

What if your phone could run an entire blockchain — no miners, no middlemen, just pure freedom? In this 10-minute TLDR episode of Web3 Magic, Paddy from Minima drops an absolute masterclass on what true decentralization really means. We explore how Minima flips the script on traditional blockchain architecture with a protocol so light, it runs entirely on your phone — yet so powerful, it could outlast even the creators themselves.
If you’ve ever asked “Why do we need decentralization?” or wondered whether any blockchain really lives up to that promise — this episode will blow your mind.

Web3 Magic - interviews with builders of novel blockchain solutions
What if DJs could remix, monetize, and own music like never before? In this mind-expanding episode, I sit down with Jaime Schwarz — brand strategist, NFT patent holder, and founder of MRKD.dj — to explore how blockchain is redefining music ownership, IP, and co-creation. From remix rights to fan distribution and Keith Shocklee’s role in launching a new creative economy, this episode hits every note. We dive deep into: - Why Web3 needs better ownership models - How MRKD.dj turns DJs into prosumers and remixers - The story behind the first-ever NFT patent - Rethinking the future of digital music, NFTs, and identity Jaime believes blockchain is the missing layer for the IP economy — offering permanence, provenance, and programmable rights at scale. In a world where AI is eating the service economy, he sees IP as the next frontier of value — and music, with its deep-rooted remix culture and licensing complexity, as the ideal first use case. MRKD.dj isn’t just about tracks — it’s about unlocking a future where artists, DJs, and fans co-create, co-own, and get rewarded in real-time. Tune in before their live launch at New York Tech Week on June 6!

Web3 Magic - interviews with builders of novel blockchain solutions
Summary In this conversation with Manos, we speed-introduce WeatherXM - the citizens-run weather network that aims to solve weather prediction problems around the world. We discuss the evolution of their hardware technology, the significant pivot towards integrating cryptocurrency, and the innovative approaches they are taking to enhance weather data collection and distribution. The discussion covers the challenges faced in hardware development, the transition to a new business model, and the future direction of WeatherXM in the context of community impact and technological advancements. Takeaways WeatherXM started as a project among colleagues in a research facility. The initial weather stations were outdated and not suitable for modern needs. In 2018, the team decided to create their own hardware from scratch. They faced challenges in mass production and shifted to modifying existing products. The pivot to integrating cryptocurrency changed their business model significantly. The new weather stations utilize cryptographic proofs for data integrity. Innovations include low-level sensors and multiple communication protocols. The company has expanded its reach to over 80 countries. They aim to support industrial use cases with modular hardware. The focus is on community involvement and providing weather data to underserved areas.

1 "One Human = One Node?" - Humanode's Bold Plan to Fix Crypto Governance for the future of UBI 43:42
In this Web3Magic Builder Spotlight, I talk to Viktor, co-founder of Humanode.io, one of the most radical blockchain experiments out there: a Layer 1 secured not by stake or work, but by proof of biometric uniqueness. Yep, real humans, not capital, run this network. We go deep into: - Why proof-of-stake and proof-of-work are still plutocratic - How Humanode uses facial recognition + confidential computing to verify humanity (without storing your data) - The ethics and tech behind biometric verification - What makes Humanode different from Worldcoin, and why it actually decentralizes the validator layer - How you can run a node from your phone and earn $25/month just for being consistently human - Use cases beyond the chain: civil-resistant airdrops, Discord governance, and DeSci + gaming partnerships coming in hot We also talk distribution, community building, and how Humanode grew a 20+ person team of long-term believers. This is not just another chain. It's a bet on humans as validators of truth—and it might just change the game. Give it a listen, and if you're into Web3 and real-world use cases, subscribe to Web3Magic and share it with your builder friends.

In this episode, I chat with Manos, the co-founder of WeatherXM, who shares their hardware project's fascinating journey from building the first LoRaWAN network in Greece to its pivot into blockchain-enabled weather data management. The team initially started in 2012 with the idea of building a crowd-sourced weather observation network. However, it wasn't until 2019 that they combined their hardware expertise with the concepts of Filecoin and Helium to create WeatherXM. The company has since manufactured and sold thousands of home weather stations and is preparing for its token launch on the mainnet. They are also exploring partnerships and business models to expand their reach and impact in the weather data industry. Manos also discusses an interesting idea that can support global expansion - it is a model that separates the financial investment from the operational management of weather stations. This strategy would enable patrons in affluent nations to fund weather station installations for others in developing regions. It is a fascinating and also motivating journey. Make sure you listen to the whole episode!

We also touch on the importance of diversity in the tech sector and its ability to tackle complex problems. We both invite you to approach the world of blockchain technology with an open mind and hopefully use-cases we discuss today will help spark your interest.

Today I talk about Techie Club - a club which you may want to join if you are thinking about improving your chances to score a job in web2 or web3. Founders have experience from big tech and big tech recruiting and want to demystify the hiring process and prepare you for interviews. Over the past months it formed pretty active community, lots of good partnerships so it seems they are progressing towards their goal of building an inclusive community for both current and aspiring techies. Mint starts August 8th, it will be 5,555 NFTs collection (if you see 4,444 somewhere, this was changed due to demand). Super cheap 0.009 ETH each. I recommend checking their discord for all up-to-date information on mint. They will never stealth mint! Stay safe!

Today I'm talking about one of a few new fully on-chain projects called Onchain Block Invaders (OBIs) OBIs are 5400 evolvable NFTs which are sitting fully on chain. Just one OBI has 1024 variants of skins and colour palettes. They are starting with the lore of light and dark side where initial mint was light side and now the dark side is coming TODAY! (Aug 5). The team plans to constantly release new skins to customize your NFT and the contract should be able to accommodate up to 32 fully on-chain skins which is impressive. Apart from dark side skin mint today, I really like their graphical language and I'm really looking forward to the retro Invaders game release. Check them out here: web: https://obinft.xyz And join if you like on-chain NFTs cos they are rare breed - especially at this price point. That's all for today.

Hello hello, today's episode is about a project I'm super excited about called NEMUS. What the team at Nemus aims to do is to save Amazonian rain forests through NFTs and by on-the-ground action with local communities. They are minting now and I highly recommend you go check their cool minting experience where you are choosing from the map a physical piece of land you'll buy as NFT. There are different sizes and different prices so you can start as low as 0.06 ETH (if I remember correctly). The way it works, you mint/buy a mint ticket(s) for your chosen size/price which you can then use to claim the land (of a given size) and you choose the land-slot from the map where you can see other neighbours. How cool is that! The team has been working in this space for a long time and they are already taking action on the ground. If nothing, you should know that Zeneca_33 is a big supporter and the guys are very dedicated and cool, definitely in it for the long run. Check them out here: https://nemus.earth Cheers till tomorrow. BFG Support the show I hope you liked today's episode. If you have any comments please reach out on socials, and let's chat.

In this episode, I talk about a project by Punk6529 called MEMEs by 6529. It's his side project (apart from his open-metaverse OM) making MEMEs front and center of our current #web3 and #NFTs culture. I guess I can say that his tweets "Seize the memes of production" are iconic and with help of different artists he's transforming this ethos into awesome NFTs where some are just scary doom AI scenes, and some are poster-like which I like the most. Posters are my thing! What I also like is the fact that 6529 is using this project as a way to learn more about NFTs, how artists work and what it entails to aim for fair and broad distribution, and what it takes to fight bot armies. Important to say that the whole project is CC0 and there are already awesome derivatives being made right now. What you should do for sure is to follow @Punk6529, listen to what he says and act on it - especially on security side of things! And also remember, whatever metaverse you decide to join, the open metaverse is a huge topic and a thing which can make our future more hopeful! Now Links: You can check his original MEMEs collection here: https://opensea.io/collection/thememes6529 You can check the copycat collection for those with smaller bankrolls here: https://opensea.io/collection/shadowmemes You can check awesome animated derivatives by Deconstruct3D: https://twitter.com/deconstruct_eth And that's it for today.

Today I'm talking about the project called Betwixt NFT; It's a project with evolving generative art which I've been watching for several months. It has very cool headline: Playable, immersive NFTs that help you befriend the voice in your head. The whole idea behind Betwixt is to build human mental resilience, both in the metaverse and IRL. It's based on long term research and created as a play-to-thrive game with 11 quest adventures with evolving generative art sculpted by your choices - you progress from Seeker, across Hero to final Architect of your new story. How cool is that, right! By owning a Betwixt NFT you become part of a movement to build human resilience. Betwixt is being built by fully doxxed team of 7 professionals, experts from multiple fields - from therapy professionals to designers, researchers and developers. There some impressive personalities among the team and advisors. All of them on a mission to help 1 billion people turn the voice in their head into a powerful ally. Backed by Gala Games and working with over 6k+ testers in past 2-3 years it is now getting really close to announcing a mint date and becoming a reality. Betwixt started in 2019 to stake a radical new vision for the future of mental wellness when they've taken some of the most effective tools for self-reflection and built them into an immersive experience inspired by Myst and Lord of the Rings. Mint date shall be announced next week and mint prices should be 0.05 ETH for WL and 0.07 ETH for public sale. And when you finish with the game and decided to re-sell the NFT if will reset for the new owner, but still remember your history, so after a few resells it might be pretty interesting to replay the history (if there will be a way to do that!) Well, that's all about Betwixt for today. Check them out here: Web: https://nft.betwixt.life/ Cheers till tomorrow! BFG Support the show I hope you liked today's episode.

Today I’m talking about the project called Duhverse; This is project which started as an experiment of a bunch of college friends about a year ago. It turned into great spring board and the initial team went on to create other cool projects while still keeping Duhverse alive while turning it into good starting point for Web3 newcomers. You can join their Duhcademy and level up your web3 skill. There are courses available on Duhverse discord. Friendly community and overall it seems like great place to start even if you don't own Duh Lamb. There are now two existing collections: Pioneers of the Duhcademy - called Lamb Duhs and pixelated and animated variants of the PX Duhmension - called Lamb Duhs PX. Both are very affordable NFTs with floor prices starting below 0.02 ETH. It seems that there are still many more things coming - e.g. mysterious metadata upgrade for the original Lamb Duhs, which will come into play for the yet unrevealed “Project Empyrean”, next Duhcademy developments including beginner web3 developer training, new NFT Worlds development with more games and more ways to play. If you're new to web3 and want to meet helpful people and learn new things, Duhverse is one of the communities to consider. Check them out here: Web: https://www.duhverse.com That's all for today.

Today I'm talking about the project called Fringe Drifters; Fringe is one of the "movie NFTs" projects, but this has larger ambitions - it's not only about funding sci-fi movie but about (hopefully) developing and funding the whole franchise around the movie which would be owned by the community. Their plan is to first create a movie and then building it out from there hopefully mostly financed by NFTs and voted on by the community. I love it. Big plans and team with a mission and clear reasons why they don't want to do it traditional way. And in my eyes, movie franchise is kind of like building a brand around any interesting story - which is what all NFT projects eventually try to do. What you will get as a Fringe NFT holders - first you'll get PFP type of NFT of a Drifter. As a Drifter owner you will have a chance to compete to have your character in the first film and in a variety of in-universe stories as they develop. You'll have an opportunity to win super rare NFTs of the film's lead characters together with all sorts of opportunities to make creative contributions to the universe and win rewards. What I'm excited about is a chance to gain in-depth access to the filmmaking process with perks like prop giveaways, set visits, film premieres... The power to vote on creative decisions and the future of the franchise Minting shall happen in May or June with price TBD. Clearly, fully doxxed team of film makers is also considering current market conditions and how it may effect the mint. Check them out here: Web: https://fringedrifters.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/fringedrifters Bigger background story here: https://mirror.xyz/thefringe.eth/Il23JiQ_b787ZPhWMjOVse9zWgXxjTBLb_wlL2HP-Ms That's all for today.
