On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Kseniya and Nich, contributors at Meta Gamma Delta DAO. MDG started as a parody of sororities and has evolved into a grants DAO for women-led projects in web3. We kick off the episode getting to know Kseniya and Nich, and their journeys into web3. We discuss how MGD started and how it has evolved. We talk about the choice to use the Moloch DAO structure, pros and cons of using DAOhaus on mainnet, and they leave us with some advice on choosing an L2 or sidechain for your own DAO. Next, we get into the community side of things, discussing how MGD fosters its community (a community of mostly women) and how other DAOs can adopt some of their best practices. Lastly, since MGD is now primarily a grants DAO for women-led projects in web3, Kseniya and Nich share the process for how MDG distributes grants, how MDG gets its own funding, and shout out some past projects that MGD has funded.

On this episode of Rehash we’re talking with Jonathan Mann, a songwriter and musician who is currently in his 14th consecutive year of creating a song every day. Yes, we also think it’s crazy. Jonathan began his journey of releasing daily original songs back in 2009, long before Ethereum and NFTs were even thought of. He would post his work to Tumblr and YouTube, but was always on the lookout for new technology to leverage. Then, in 2017, Jonathan came across CryptoPunks and began looking into web3 and NFTs.We talk with Jonathan about his pre-web3 days of making money from music by entering video contests, the early NFT scene, and how he’s managed to keep his momentum after all these years. We also discuss the rights and royalties of music NFTs, community building in DAOs, and how Jonathan’s project, SongADAO, handles voting. Finally, we attempt to wrap our heads around token-gated registries and get Jonathan’s picks for what NFTs will still be around 5 years from now.To continue this conversation and stay up to date with Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with LDF, Chief gm Officer of the Open Metaverse. With roots in tech, marketing, and gaming, and former spots at Facebook and Reddit, LDF stumbled into web3 several years ago.

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with Abe Uccello, founder of Pris0n Art. Abe has an interesting professional past, having worked in tech and later serving as the Director of the Florida Department of Corrections. His time in these spaces gave him a unique perspective on how emerging tech, like web3, could be used to bring about positive change for incarcerated individuals.This led Abe to spin up Pris0n Art - an organization that helps those coming out of the prison system pay their legal fees through the creation and sale of NFTs. Around 30% of felons land back in prison due to their inability to pay these fees, leading to a vicious cycle that it’s easy to see but difficult to climb out of. Pris0n Art works with the incarcerated to help them tell their stories through art, sell that art as NFTs, and use those funds to pay their debt. Instead of coming out of prison with a mountain of debt, Pris0n Art helps to ease that process and give them a real shot at getting back on their feet. During our conversation we also discuss mental health, how DAOs could increase access to supportive networks, other use cases of NFTs, the power of composability, and more.To continue this conversation and stay up to date on all things Rehash, you can follow Diana on Twitter @ddwchen and Rehash @rehashweb3.
