GM Farcaster: wrapping up 2024; welcome 2025!

GM! We took a holiday break and we're back tomorrow to ring in the New Year! But before we do that, catch up on our last few episodes of 2024 below, including our interviews with the AlfaFrens crew @burrrrrberry and @0xfran; @billzh chatting about Tribes for Solana Friday; and @dish from the Clanker team. If you watch nothing else, watch those! PLUS The Hub with @dylsteck AND CastOut,

We want to thank all of our partners from this past year including Snickerdoodle and Base, but also Pinata, Matcha and all of our amazing CLP's and Hypersub supporters. We can't do this work without this support! Thanks for an incredible 2024!

Thank you to our premiere sponsor Snickerdoodle! They recently released their State of Farcaster 2024 Report and it’s all about you. Ever wondered how your voice shapes this platform? Check out snickerdoodle.com and download the full report. Remember, your engagement on Farcaster isn't just social — it's shaping the future of decentralized media.

From our ChatGPT intern: This episode of GM Farcaster is like a crypto breakfast buffet: highlights from Art Basel Miami, a "Magic Eden intern" hunt that feels like Where's Waldo onchain, and updates on decentralized social credit scores where everyone thinks they're a solid 850—but nobody actually is. Toss in a sprinkle of snark about scam emails and centralized services, and you've got a podcast as spicy as the pizza at that DAO party.

Thank you Base our premiere partner for supporting GM Farcaster and all the builders building on Base! If you’re job hunting, check out Base.org/jobs to work with one of the best teams in crypto!

Thank you @billzh for popping by to chat about tribes.run on Solana for our Solana Friday update! Check Bill’s cast for an invite code to try Tribes!

And from our ChatGPT Intern: This episode of "GM Farcaster" serves up a mix of Solana-building hype with Bill Z, plus Taylor Swift gets an unexpected birthday shoutout, and the Yoink game spirals into a chaotic, sleep-deprived marathon that rivals a zombie apocalypse training camp. Between app-free developer perks and a host-turned-mom forcing players to rest, it's equal parts tech updates and comedic relief!

Thank you to our premiere sponsor Snickerdoodle! They recently released their State of Farcaster 2024 Report and it’s all about you. Ever wondered how your voice shapes this platform? Check out snickerdoodle.com and download the full report. Remember, your engagement on Farcaster isn't just social — it's shaping the future of decentralized media. And thank you @dish for popping by to chat about all things @clanker! Along with some Boston love!

And from our ChatGPT Intern: GM Farcaster episode 195 was a wild ride, covering everything from the mystical rise of Pudgy Penguins to ETH being the 'chill guy' still waiting for its all-time high. Highlights include discussions about clankers, speculation about crypto trends, and a developer casually dropping that he built a house in two weeks, because why not mix carpentry with tokenomics?"

The Hub is a developer focused podcast for the Farcaster ecosystem with host @dylsteck.eth, with this week’s guest co-host @adrienne. From our ChatGPT intern: In Episode 8 of The Hub, host dylsteck.eth goes solo to unpack Farcaster's latest V2 Frame updates, like adding a SpaceX tracker and making Uniswap even swappier. Despite the tech deep dive, the highlight might just be settling an auction mid-podcast—proving devs truly live for those commit and deploy moments!

Thank you to our premiere sponsor Base! And congrats to the Base team for an amazing 2024!

And from our ChatGPT Intern: In this year-end episode, the GM Farcaster crew debates whether season finales should align with the calendar or obsessive episode counts, while also explaining their hilariously overqualified spam detection system that can spot a 24/7 liker faster than Elon tweets. Meanwhile, the new Warpcast rewards program has the community frantically farming engagement, proving that even thirst traps and existential leaderboard angst are fair play when USDC is on the line.

Catch up on all the CastOut episodes! And congrats to @garrett and the /basedevo tribe for their win! And be sure to follow the /castout channel for announcements of future seasons!
