Hello Hive ❤️
Hey everyone, it’s us – the CBRS Podcast crew! We just dropped episode 59 and we’re super excited to share everything that happened. Life got in the way a little (sick kids, late nights, the usual chaos), but we finally sat down in person and recorded a fun one for you. Here’s the full recap, straight from us to you.

Wheel of Names Winners – Big Thanks to 3Speak!
We kicked things off with the famous Wheel of Names giveaway, proudly supported by our friends at @threespeak. Five lucky winners walked away with 10 HIVE each! Huge congratulations go out to:
Thank you #3Speak for making this possible every week! We’re tweaking the format a bit moving forward – probably two wheels per episode with 5 HIVE each – because we’re now focusing more on boosting individual Hive posts on X instead of the big weekly stats threads. More support, more love, same good vibes!

Hive Creative Rewards, Onboarding Transparency & Cool New Tools
We talked about some awesome community stuff happening right now:
The @hivecreators Rewards 2025 is live and they actually asked the community for category ideas before launching – that’s how you do it! We hope there’s a “Best Podcast” category (fingers crossed for us, but honestly @thepeoplesguild, @acgalarza and a bunch of others are killing it too).
Massive shoutout to the onboarding transparency tool @checkinwith.xyz for showing exactly who onboarded whom from October to December. Real people bringing in real people, just like the old-school face-to-face days. This is gold for everyone.
@louis88 dropped the Hive Keyword Fetcher – finally an easy way to search old posts with specific words, all the way back to the beginning. Game changer!
@skatehive can now be found on the Apple App Store – huge milestone after all these years!
@threespeak released their weekly node report – full transparency on who’s running nodes and how long they’ve been up. Love to see it.
Random Fun: Dreams, Stand-Up Comedy & Parody Songs
Of course we went off-script (because it’s us). One of us had the wildest dream ever: showing up to an open mic dressed as Trump, long socks over the knees, forgetting the “Biden pills” and killing it on stage. The crowd lost it, then boom – woke up. Safe to say stand-up comedy might be the future now.
We also re-recorded some old parody songs with friends and laughed way too much about @mynewlife (sorry brother) jokes and banana volcanoes. Classic CBRS chaos.
Let’s Keep It Real in 2025
At the end of the day, the message is simple: transparency, real connections, supporting each other, and building stuff that actually matters. Less fake hype, more real action. We need your comments, your ideas, your posts – every bit of activity helps the chain grow.
Thanks for listening, thanks for being part of this crazy Hive journey with us, and see you in the next episode!
Much love,
Your CBRS Podcast crew
