AROUND POAP

If you missed POAP Citizens episode #3, listen to the recording on YouTube. POAP's own Anthony Bertolino interviewed Mentor Palokaj, engineer at POAP. They get into Mentor's work at POAP and his many fascinating other projects, such as running a free VPN service... and the time he ended up on stage at the 2008 Olympics opening ceremonies with Jackie Chan 👀

During the live recording in the POAP Discord, there was a POAP for listening and a POAP for the top 10 finishers of a trivia game about Mentor.
