Overview
Learn Cardano is a free YouTube channel and podcast that explains the Cardano blockchain to people who are not developers. Host Pete Bui breaks down ecosystem news, walks viewers through wallets and trading apps step by step, and interviews the teams building on the network1. Coverage leans toward long-term project analysis rather than short-term price movement.
Alongside the videos sits a companion website that turns the same material into written form: structured courses, plain-language explainers, and news roundups2. Coverage centres on Cardano and also extends to Midnight, a privacy-focused network, and to Australian cryptocurrency policy where the host is based.
Key Features
- Regular video coverage of the Cardano ecosystem. New videos land every few days, mixing news roundups with deep dives into individual projects and network upgrades1.
- A podcast you can listen to anywhere. Full episodes are published on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, most running between ten and twenty minutes, so the news roundups work as commute listening34.
- Step-by-step courses on real apps. The website hosts six courses on specific tools, from setting up the Eternl wallet to swapping tokens on Minswap, some ending in a quiz5. Opening a course requires a free account, and not all are open to new enrolments.
- Code examples for people who want to build. A recipes library shows snippets for minting collectible tokens, writing validation logic in the Aiken language, and reading blockchain data, alongside walkthroughs for building small demo apps67. See our intro to Cardano development for context on the tooling involved.
- Published voting reasoning on governance decisions. Pete acts as a delegated representative in Cardano's on-chain voting system and publishes how he voted on treasury and budget proposals, along with why2. Our guide to Cardano governance explains what those votes decide.
What to Expect
A viewer arriving from search will find a large back catalogue built up over years, covering a wide span of Cardano topics1. The tone is conversational and unhurried, closer to a friend explaining something over coffee than a polished newsroom segment. Many videos carry chapter markers, which makes it easy to skip to the one story you care about in a roundup.
Newcomers are the intended audience. The stated goal is bridging the gap between people arriving in the ecosystem and the engineers building it, so terms get explained rather than assumed8. If you want to understand what delegating ADA to a stake pool actually involves, our staking walkthrough pairs well with the channel's wallet lessons.
The channel is one person's work rather than an organisation, and the point of view reflects that: opinions are stated openly rather than kept neutral. The Australian angle surfaces regularly too, with episodes on local tax treatment and regulation alongside the Cardano coverage. The site links to a merchandise shop and to the host's ADAOZ stake pool, which viewers can delegate to9. Other channels in the same vein sit in our YouTube channels listing.
