In this episode, I'm joined by Sean McCaffery of the gamified governance DAO JokeDAO, and Zeugh from community management DAO CanuDAO.

In the first hour of today's show, Sean explains the origins of JokeDAO, a joke writing contest whose winner is decided by $JOKE token voting. We get into the project's origins using Mirror Write Race, and the DAO's transition to building their own multichain voting-as-entertainment dapp.

In the second half of the show, Zeugh and members of the Slice community tell us all about EthRio and the EthRio hackathon winning project Mosaico, a NFT art sale designed to onboard local artists into Web3.

This episode was a lot of fun. The JokeDAO conversation at the top of the show taught me that governance doesn't need to be a dry process, but can instead be the very basis of entertaining community building competitions. I hope you enjoy the show!
