Description:** \\\\nOur project is a friendly decentralised podcast on Near, minted on Mintbase. It focuses on empowering and educating Spanish-speaking women about blockchain technology, DeFi, and financial literacy, as well as the Near ecosystem and public goods. The podcast aims to break down complex concepts related to blockchain, such as Web3 and DAOs and make them accessible to women who may be new to the field. \\\\n\\\\n**What kind of funding are you looking for (amount wise)?:** \\\\nWe need funding to cover the social media marketing and design, hosts fees, and the purchase of a couple of microphones. \\\\n\\\\n**How do you plan to utilise the funding?:** \\\\nWe want to run a social media campaign with a catchy logo and info on each session and pay for our hosts contributions to guarantee commitment. Also, we will upload the content of our podcast with images to Mintbase, and iVoox and Spotify. \\\\n\\\\n**How do you plan to utilise the blockchain technology in your DAO?:** \\\\nWe will be minting our podcast as a free NFT on Mintbase. It will be the first decentralised podcast in the NEAR ecosystem :) \\\\n\\\\n**What benefits are you bringing with this to the ecosystem?:**\\\\nWe want to talk about the importance of Near and its DAOs in the Blockchain, the multiple uses and future of NFTs, and how public goods support platforms like Potlock are changing the scenario on the blockchain are making it more democratic and diverse. \\\\n\\\\nThe proposed themes for the podcast cover a wide range of topics in DeFi, and the broader implications of blockchain beyond finance. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts to empower women economically and provide them with the tools to manage their finances effectively. \\\\n\\\\nMoreover, the podcast highlights the stories and successes of women in the blockchain and Web3 space, aiming to inspire and encourage other women to participate in these emerging technologies. It also features discussions on DeFi, NFTs, and the potential of blockchain technology to foster creativity and empowerment. \\\\n\\\\nOverall, the podcast serves as a platform for Latin women to learn, share experiences, and engage with the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and decentralized technologies, with a focus on promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry. \\\\n\\\\n**Format:**\\\\nTwo 15-minute sessions monthly \\\\n\\\\n**What problem are you aiming to solve?** \\\\nThe podcast will be in Spanish, and there are not any podcasts in Near aiming at Spanish speaking women in Near, despite there being a huge Latin community in Near, as Near.es success (1015 members in Telegram) exemplifies. \\\\n\\\\n**Giveaways:** \\\\nWe will offer an NFT give away to the first 5 people that request it. Also 5 $NEAR giveaways for space visibility. \\\\n\\\\n**3.Previous funding:** \\\\n14,9 NEAR from Near Marketing via Potlock Marketing round.
