In collaboration with OpenSea, Slime has been working on this project for over 8 months and we are excited to see the fruits of their labor: https://slimeshop.slimesunday.com/We end the episode reminiscing about the NFT beginnings and try to remember some things that happened over the summer but we were pretty unplugged. Glad to be back in the saddle, more episodes will drop at our leisure and might not be weekly moving forward, just a heads up!

On the 76th episode of “That’s Nifty” we sat down with Johan Lolos a Belgian-Greek Photographer who backpacks around the world.

On the 74th episode of “That’s Nifty” we sat down with Mark Wilson AKA Toads Wiback AKA diewiththemostlikes an artist/writer who shines a light on hometown decay and the endless cycle of consumerism. His sense of humor breaks the tension when the art hits too close to home and you realize you are also a part of this cycle. Monster Energy, Slim Jims, Kirkland brand, Kohls, the Catholic Church, we cover it all as we discover what makes Mark tick.die with the most likesTwitter: @toadswibackWebsite

On the 72nd episode of “That’s Nifty” we sat down with Nathan Bauman a photographer/nomad that captures moments on film and presents the stories to all of us.
