Web 3.0 and Crypto Media — ALI POWELL

Here’s a genre and globe spanning selection of clips from my time covering the Crypto/Web 3 space as Senior Video Producer at COINDESK. During that time I field produced news and interview segments spanning the globe in locations like Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tokyo, Japan, Tel Aviv Israel, The World Economic Forum at Davos and the 2020 campaign trail along with producing a Daily News program and an animated Adult Swim style podcast variety series about the NFT space that was sponsored by TurboTax and later sold by CoinDesk as a series on Amazon Prime.

“NFT All Stars” a podcast webseries about the NFT Space that combined adult swim style animation, comedy and explainer content with interviews with celebrities and noted experts in the NFT space. TurboTax sponsored it’s initial run and it has since been available for purchase on Amazon Prime.
