Natalie keeps it real!

I’ve listened to Natalie for 3 years. She infuses Bitcoin topics with her bubbly, upbeat attitude. Insightful info and high level interviews that are fun and informative to listen to. Go Waves!

Excellent show…very smart guess
Residence of NYC

Great BTC podcast

This is a great show. Natalie is a great resource and we are lucky to have her in this space.
Oldiegoody

Brilliant

Nat is very personable and a great interviewer….so she gets the best guests. Do yourself a favor and listen!
{(RAILGUN)}

2 possible guests

Just a suggestion, Gene Simmons is big on Bitcoin. Also, One of Josh Mandel's final edicts as state treasurer was to allow Ohio businesses to pay their taxes with bitcoin.
Koolnightwolf

Everything you want from a Bitcoin podcast.

Natalie is a talented and gifted reporter and interviewer. She asks great questions has access to incredible people that come on as guests. This really is everything you’d want from a podcast covering this topic and sector.

Great podcast!

Superb interviews with interesting guests!
JkJones8

News Block & Interviews are Fantastic

Natalie Brunell consistently provides great interviews and updates through her News Block episodes. Thank you to Natalie and anyone behind the scenes that make this podcast possible.
kylerollins

Screw the XRP army!

Nats podcast is the best - I don’t like that xrp schills gave her a bunch of 1* reviews just for a bad clip that misrepresented her words

Big Fan of Coin Stories & Natalie Brunell

I listen to everyone of her uploads and really enjoy her role in the free documentary “god bless bitcoin”, though I’m not even the tiniest bit religious. Thanks for your continued contribution and work in this space.
RandyF-77

Great show

Excellent guests and content. Both Bitcoin and Macro topics
RXChampagne

Consistently Solid

Natalie always puts out professional and timely content with integrity and the best intensions. Cheers to you and keep up the good work.
sdweller

Disappointed

Natalie, I listened to a few of your podcasts and they were interesting. Then you had a couple guests that revealed some things about you, mainly that you interview ANYONE as long as they are pro BTC. Example one is this Col Douglas Macgregor… who is obviously a crackpot, with conspiracy stories and claims that have been long proven untrue and unsubstantiated. I thought you were progressive and real… Very disappointing and I’m going elsewhere for some reality.
Brn Wlkr

Keep up the format

I love listening to you guys talk. The ChatGPT insight was mind melting. Thanks Preston for sharing. I’m downloading the app asap.
CavaDaddyAF

Review

I will go with other reviewers. The pod is extremely solid and grounded. Smart based interviews, she asks solid questions and allows her quests to be the center of the discussion. It makes for a engaging enjoyable discussion and listen. So many podcasts just get people on that they agree with.
John Pearl

Phenomenal show!

Natalie brings on the best guests and conducts a phenomenal interview. She is well researched, provides the most breaking stories and her passion for Bitcoin shines through in every conversation. Coin Stories has quickly risen to one of my top go-to pods.
Aslskater

You’re Doing Great!

I really have enjoyed Natalie’s Podcast. She asks great questions and I appreciate the variety of guests and topics covered. I don’t agree with everything her guests say, but she doesn’t either! She creates a fun space to learn for those at any point in their financial / Bitcoin learning journey. Her YouTube video tutorial about cold storage and podcast with Hal Finleys wife were two of my more recent favorites.
Jesus_Christ_is_1

Usually enjoy but …

I enjoy listening to your news updates and interviews but was disappointed by the recent episode with Aleksandar Svetski who more than once took God’s name in vain. Please don't have guests on who can’t express themselves in a more intelligent way.
IDeck87

Top tier

Cream rises to the top. I spend a LOT of time listening to BTC podcasts, and this podcast has become my favorite. Great guests, and Natalie is a fantastic interviewer. Easy to follow and listen to for both the novice and the folks that are all the way down the rabbit hole. Keep up the great work!!
Hawk:1

Great

Love listening to Natalie. Never miss an episode!
Dutchladle

The Barbara Walters of Modern Media

Being a gifted reporter, Natalie is especially adept at eliciting and incorporating human interest stories that elucidate bitcoin out of whole cloth; i.e., illustrating bitcoin’s present power and future potential for every aspect of our lives - familial, professional, spiritual, financial, creative, communal, entrepreneurial, and philanthropic.
ChaosHere

And here We Go

A podcast I’ve followed since the beginning has once again shown her GANG related colors with the June 26th episode. I have no desire to listen to podcasts that are politically slanted towards America’s Gang Association(s) and beliefs. I’m Done.
rb4404

Amazing BTC Pod

Super informative as a newbie to BTC. I’ve learned a ton just listening to some of Natalie’s older pods. Awesome guests as well. Definitely a must follow for people interested in BTC and financial economics.
rrk75

Lol. Picky about sponsors. Give me a break

Same guests same stuff. Echo room.
Rick from Temple U.

Just another conspiracy podcast

I listed to a few episodes because I’m VERY interested and bitcoin and it’s role in the world of the future. But so many guests were just nut job conspiracy theorists like Whitney Webb and Col Macgregor, the kind of people who think there are predators in pizzeria basements and that the war in Ukraine was sparked by Ukrainian oil companies. It’s a shame that a Bitcoin podcast has devolved into this. Listen to OTB for the real deal.
#TheTacticalCouncilman

Not just Bitcoin, but financial news too

I’ve been listening for a few years now, since Natalie first started her podcast. Great guest who break down the difference between crypto and Bitcoin, but also guest that speak to the current state of the market. Our banking system has been failing everyday Americans, and I feel podcasts like this shed light on the issues with our current financial system. You’ll learn about Bitcoin, crypto, and overall banking and financial news.
Crab_manly_man

WOW!

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. I’ve learned so much about Bitcoin, money, and economics from Natalie and the amazing guests she brings on. Natalie is a talented interviewer and always brings out the best in her guests. This show is great for beginners and experts alike. I knew nothing about these topics before I started listening and now I feel comfortable explaining them to my friends and family. Only listen if you’re ready to level up your knowledge. 5 stars!
COUVMARK

Cringeworthy

Natalie Brunell has chosen to adopt the term “misinformation”, as used by the far left, to describe anything with which she disagrees. She admittedly seeks to deplatform such views on her podcast as opposed to exploring or exposing them. She apparently lacks the willingness and/or ability to counter dissenting views with civil discourse. If you would like to listen to a censorius, left wing echo chamber, then Coin Stories is for you. More serious discussions of the relavent issues are available elsewhere.
knoblochodlbitcoin

Superb Content- Educational w/ Unique Angles

Natalie delivers top shelf bitcoin/macroeconomic content in a clear, concise, and digestible manner. Her unique angles and ability to connect with her guests make these documentary-like podcasts entertaining and educational to watch. I would recommend these podcasts to all levels of bitcoin and macroeconomic understanding.
Toyhammered

Great Podcast - I learn so much!!

Really enjoy listening to this podcast!! Natalie has a wide range of guests. I have learned a ton from her episodes Highly recommend!!

Echo chamber

Background portion of the interviews is sometimes interesting. Other than that it’s a bit echo chamberey.
GAEresearcher

Lousy Podcast

A lackluster podcast from the point of view of a BTC maximalist. There is nothing of here of any value or education. Typical nonsense from someone acting like an “authority” of the subject.
DEFELI1

Scam

Thus lady may end up in jail for pumping crypto.
grizzyTX

Lousy editing

The 11/14 Michael Saylor interview was cut off mid-sentence.
Too Clever Too

Bitcoin Cynic Won Over

Natalie and her expert guests have won over a cynic to the current and long-term value of Bitcoin. Not an easy task. Appreciate the free education, economic updates, and Natalie’s positivity in a dark time for our country and the world.
RazzleDazzle1

Sharp

Concise questions that open the topic to the guest speaker to answer without being leading. Gives plenty of space and time for the answers to develop. Finally moves the topics along to points listeners appreciate specifically in regards to bitcoin.
Jhwahaha

Good listing

I like the bitcoin content. Based maximalist seem to be the wisest voices in the room
Casey_stubbs

Natalie is a great host

She is a great host and does a great job with her interviews this is a must listen show about bitcoin.

Big Nat Fan

Natalie You are such a talented interviewer!! I love your style of questioning and your happy demeanor throughout your entire podcast. I have learned a great deal about not only Bitcoin but about the general macro economy from you and your guests. Thanks so much for all you do!.
Dr.jake.brown

A+ content

Nat you’re doing such a great job and it’s fun hearing your content and watching your skills and career grow in real time. This feels like the most important times of my entire life.
Mrs. Calabrese

Excellent Education!

Here I am, a 61 year old woman, trying to get some of my peers and younger women interested and comprehending BITCOIN (which is the gateway to crypto). It’s a tough thing to do, I’m now working with men and women now, the men are more interested. Women are not risk oriented, older women are even more stoic. Women often don’t trust themselves with their own intuition and then many women just “leave it to the men.” How do we move them? At the very least I have this podcast to throw towards them. It’s a tough road! I want to help!
cannagfarms

G.I.

Natalie is super interesting to watch and listen to, she is open to asking tough questions and gives speakers their time to explain their stances and backgrounds. Takes a more personal approach in also trying to relate with the person she interviews by relating something from her life to them. I think she is the most open minded BTC influencer I have seen so far and she is just getting started. She has a bright future if she has this many big names already under her resume!
john in 10 mile

Saylor cringe

I enjoyed the insights during conversation with Michael Saylor. In particular, his ideas about many good ideas can distract us from pursuing a great idea. Toward the end the host said roughly "this may be a little prying into personal information but ..." and then asked about his lack of family. Cringe. I suggest that line of questioning doesn't help the podcast.
