Greenpill.Network Podcast – Decentralization Roadmap
Objective
Transition the Greenpill Network podcast from a founder-led initiative to a network-run media asset, curated and managed by a committee. This will broaden voices, strengthen community ownership, and ensure long-term sustainability while maintaining the podcast’s high production quality.
Why This Matters
The Greenpill Network Podcast is often the front door through which people discover and enter the Network. With hundreds—and sometimes thousands—of listeners per episode, it’s a legitimate media asset that drives awareness, attracts new members, and amplifies the Network’s voice. Decentralizing its operation will not only expand its reach but also deepen community ownership and resilience.
