UK guide
The top Bitcoin podcasts, ranked by people who make one.
Most 'best Bitcoin podcast' lists were written years ago and never updated. Shows have ended, hosts have moved on, and the UK barely gets a mention. These are the ten worth your time in 2026.
One of them is ours. We've been making it for six years, so we know what a good one sounds like.

What matters most to you?
Made in the UK
Six shows recorded here. Most lists don't know they exist.
The Bitcoin Collective
Best for: Bitcoin news and stories in plain English, with guests who've actually done it
OursWeeklyFreeLondonSince 2020
Format
Interviews and news
- The UK's longest-running Bitcoin podcast
- Guests are business owners, founders and people living on Bitcoin, not just commentators
- Ranked number one on Feedspot's UK Bitcoin and blockchain podcasts
- UK first, so if you want Washington politics you'll want a second show
- Weekly, not daily
Full disclosure, this is ours. Six years, hundreds of episodes, and still the only weekly Bitcoin show made for the UK.
The Peter McCormack Show
Best for: Big-name interviews from the person who built the biggest Bitcoin podcast
WeeklyFreeBedford
- Peter ran What Bitcoin Did, for years the largest Bitcoin podcast in the world
- Still gets guests nobody else can
- Also runs Real Bedford, the football club with Bitcoin on its balance sheet
- The new show is broader than Bitcoin, covering politics, culture and whatever Peter's angry about this week
- Not a beginner show
Not a Bitcoin-only show any more, and that's fine. When the guest is good, it's the best interview in the space.
Antidote
Best for: Conversations from London's Bitcoin hub
FreeLondonYouTube first
Format
Interviews and conversations
- Comes out of Antidote, London's Bitcoin hub and incubator, so the guests are founders and builders who are actually here
- Ben Cousens hosts with a venture background, so it's sharper on business than most
- One of the few shows where the London Bitcoin scene is the subject rather than a footnote
- Video first, so the audio feed can lag
- Newer show, smaller back catalogue
If you want to know who's building Bitcoin companies in London right now, this is where they're talking.
Bitcoin Archive with Archie
Best for: Long, unhurried conversations with people worth hearing from
FreeUK
Format
Long-form interviews
- Archie runs Bitcoin Archive, one of the biggest Bitcoin accounts on X, so he gets guests most podcasts can't
- Ranges beyond Bitcoin into science, culture and business, which keeps it interesting
- UK-based, which almost nobody listing him realises
- Long
- Not a news show, so don't come for this week's headlines
Interesting people, deep conversations, and the biggest Bitcoin account on X asking the questions. Easy recommend.
The Bitcoin IFA Podcast
Best for: Bitcoin from a UK financial adviser's point of view
FreeUK
Format
Interviews and explainers
- Hosted by a regulated UK IFA, which is rare
- Covers pensions, ISAs, tax and the questions UK investors actually ask
- Measured rather than evangelical
- Smaller show, so fewer big-name guests
- Niche by design
If your question is “how does this fit with my pension”, this is the only UK show answering it.
Bitcoin Town Hall
Best for: The UK's Bitcoin news, argued about live, every week
OursWeeklyFreeLive on XUK
Format
Live panel discussion
- Recorded live on X Spaces, so you hear the UK scene react to the week's news in real time
- Jordan Walker and Jeremy Casey host, with regulars from across the UK Bitcoin community
- The only weekly show that's specifically about Bitcoin news in Britain
- Live audio, so it's rougher than a studio show
- Opinions fly, and not everyone agrees
Also ours, and the opposite of polished. If you want to know what UK Bitcoiners actually think this week, this is where they say it.
From the rest of the world
The global shows that earn their place.
What Bitcoin Did
Best for: The original interview show, now with Danny Knowles hosting
Several a weekFreeUK and US
- Still the biggest archive of Bitcoin interviews anywhere
- Danny Knowles produced the show for years before taking over, so the quality held
- Still records partly in the UK
- A different show from the Peter McCormack era, and some listeners haven't forgiven that
- Long
The show changed hands in 2024 and most lists haven't noticed. It's still good. Just know it's Danny now.
TFTC
Best for: The Bitcoin-only show with the sharpest opinions
Several a weekFreeAustin
Format
Interviews and news
- Marty Bent has been doing this since 2017
- Bitcoin only, and loud about it
- Rabbit Hole Recap, the weekly news show with Matt Odell, is the best Bitcoin news hour there is
- American politics, a lot of it
- Can run very long
If you want to know what Bitcoiners are arguing about this week, this is where they're arguing.
Coin Stories
Best for: Bitcoin explained through people's stories
WeeklyFreeUS
- Natalie Brunell is a former TV journalist and it shows: tight, well-prepared interviews
- Great at getting mainstream names to talk about Bitcoin
- Easy listen for someone new
- US-centric
- Occasionally soft on guests
The one to send to a friend who doesn't listen to Bitcoin podcasts yet.
Bitcoin for Millennials
Best for: Bitcoin and the broken financial system, for people under 45
WeeklyFreeNetherlands
- Bram Kanstein asks the questions a normal person would ask
- Focused on why the system stopped working for younger people
- European, so less Washington
- Smaller show, fewer household-name guests
- Title undersells it; it's for anyone
The best European Bitcoin podcast, and the one that explains the why rather than the what.
How to build a listening list that works
1
Start with one UK show
It's the one that'll mention the things that affect you here.
2
Add one interview show
TFTC if you want opinion, Coin Stories if you want stories, What Bitcoin Did if you want the archive.
3
Add the live one
Bitcoin Town Hall on a weekday evening is the fastest way to hear what the UK scene makes of the week.
4
Stop at three
Nobody listens to ten podcasts. The best one is the one you actually press play on.
Prefer books? We've ranked the best Bitcoin books too.
Important: Nobody paid to be on this page, including us. We listen to all of these and will refresh the list every quarter, including when shows end or change hosts, which the other lists never seem to.
