    Episode 500: Celebrating 10 Years of Breaking Banks

    fintechpodcastbankingtechnologyinnovation

    Breaking Banks is a global fintech radio show and podcast that explores personalities, startups, innovators, and industry players in financial services. The hosts have been doing the show for 10 years and this is their 500th episode. The podcast started because the host wanted to save time by doing an hour-long podcast instead of writing a weekly blog. The first guest on the show was Giles Andrews, followed by Ben Milne from Diwala and John Matonas from the Bitcoin Foundation. The early days of fintech were narrow and not many people knew about it. The show used to be live but now they rarely do live shows due to logistical challenges. There have been funny moments during live shows, such as guests being interrupted by sirens or searching for a pen on air. One topic discussed on the show is how traditional banking practices need to adapt to new technologies like AI and machine learning.
