DAOwah Podcast Funding Proposal

Summary: Create a 1 season podcast series (5 episodes) exploring the DAOwah journey through the perspectives of DAOwah core contributors: Alex, Jihad, and Metadreamer. Hosts will discuss web3 current events, the intersections between Islam and web3, and conduct interviews with a diverse set of builders, ulama, and thought leaders.

Objective: Create 5 premium podcast episodes that provide education and a framework to build, seed, and develop web3 projects inspired by the Islamic tradition. Our target audience for Season 1 is Muslims and Non Muslims in Web3 and the larger tech industry. We also hope that this content will be a resource for folks curious about web3 however we’re not tailoring the content for this demographic as we believe there’s an abundance of educational content already available.

Results: 5 podcast episodes (audio + video) to be published on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts with accompanying threads on Twitter. Podcast is currently underway, we have recorded Episode 0 that introduces the audience to DAOwah’s goals and our esteemed hosts. Our goal is to record and publish 5 episodes by the end of 2022. We have preemptively started asking a few guests to record sessions for our inaugural season. We hope to reach 10,000 unique impressions with content from Season 1 and sell the remainder of our NFT memberships.
