Please describe your proposed solution.

Conducting long-form interview podcasts: Engaging interviews with notable figures within the Cardano ecosystem, fostering in-depth conversations and discussions.

Each video episode will revolve around a specific theme, with a set of tailored questions designed based on the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of the featured product or project.

Each question will prompt the guest to choose an element that comes to mind immediately. These elements will be collected and compiled into a unique artwork representative of the episode's content, discussed product, and mentioned project. This artwork will be revealed at the end of the session, symbolizing an art piece created from the guest's experiences and knowledge shared, presented as a "collect art." The image will then be minted into an NFT and given away to three viewers with the most-liked comments after the video is uploaded.

Category: Video Podcast

Type: Online Expert interview Show

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Format: Video Interviews: Conducted in video format, allowing guests to share detailed information, experiences, and stories.

The video series will solve all this key issues:

1. Lack of Depth and Professionalism: Existing video interviews are brief, lack depth, and fail to provide valuable insights or experiences to the audience. The absence of a professional podcast diminishes the opportunity for viewers to gain comprehensive knowledge about the Cardano ecosystem.
2. Content Accessibility and Retention: Live podcasts on Twitter are temporary, and once the live session ends, they become inaccessible for newcomers or those who want to revisit the discussions later. This format limits content retention and does not guarantee lasting value for listeners.
3. Audience Engagement and Reach: The current content largely caters to the existing community members rather than appealing to a wider audience. As a result, it lacks the ability to attract and engage newcomers or individuals outside the community due to its perceived lack of quality and relevance.
