MARS Magazine Podcast Ep. 73: In this episode, Adario Strange speaks with Sean Neville, the co-founder of Circle.com (the company behind the USDC stablecoin) and founder of Catena Labs, a bold new startup helping AI agents use crypto to work for humans.
Neville takes us from his early tech days at Macromedia to the birth of Circle, sharing how USDC went from an experiment to a cornerstone of the global crypto economy. We dig into the big questions: What is a stablecoin, really? How will “AI money” change the way machines and people interact? And should governments even try to compete in the stablecoin space? This is a front-row look at the collision of finance, technology, and intelligence.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
