Press Publish with Noelle Acheson and Brady Dale
In this episode of Press Publish, Noelle Acheson chats with veteran journalist Brady Dale about his journey from Coindesk to Axios and ultimately launching his own Substack newsletter, Front Stage Exit. Dale explains why he left mainstream media—lack of audience fit, low newsletter growth, and a desire for editorial control—and how his new platform focuses on crypto’s core value: providing an "exit" from traditional financial systems. They also discuss the broader media landscape, noting the decline of traditional news consumption, the rise of PR firms dominating attention through influencer networks, and the challenges facing crypto coverage in both niche and mainstream outlets.
