On the podcast today; the Guardians UK technology editor, Alex Hern, joins to explain what exactly cryptocurrency is, how fan tokens work and why John Terry and a host of other footballers have been posting about cartoon monkeys.

Elsewhere, the soon-to-be owner of Bedford FC Peter McCormack sets out his vision for the team being dubbed the first Bitcoin club and why, in his opinion, this is a sensible and sustainable model for his local side.

Plus, Philippe Auclair reveals the more sinister side of cryptocurrency including fan token scams and gambling while James Harder argues the case for NFTs (if you can just ignore the cartoon monkeys).
