Fast, Fun & Daily - Markets Daily, from CoinDesk Sep 16, 2021

Show notes

Hello listeners, I’m Adam B. Levine and this is the Markets Daily Crypto News Roundup, From CoinDesk. If you’re looking for a fast, fun, daily way to keep up on developments in the fast moving world of bitcoin, Markets Daily is the show for you.

On Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays we cover bitcoin and global indexes, along with a run through the headlines full of quick looks at the stories that matter, followed by a short opinion piece from one of Coindesk’s columnists.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we skip the headlines and pair our bitcoin and traditional finance update with a longer feature, taking you down the rabbit hole and back again with time to spare.

On the weekend, we kick back with an in-depth feature, slowing down our faster-than-light pace to think things through and try to make sense of this breathless world.

And speaking of breathless, we’ve got to get back to the show. To listen for free, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. If you like what we’re doing, leave us a review on your favorite podcast player. And from all of us at CoinDesk and the Markets Daily team - thanks for listening.
