Are you a big fan of podcasts? If so, you'll be excited to hear about a new way to support your favorite shows. On Fountain.fm, you can support podcasts as you listen using a payment system called The Bitcoin Lightning Network. This system allows you to send and receive small units of Bitcoin known as sats. So why should you support your favorite podcasts? Well, many of us have learned a lot from the podcasts we listen to regularly, and they've inspired us in countless ways. Since most podcasts are available for free, they rely on income from many different sources, including advertising. By supporting podcasts on Fountain.fm, you can show your appreciation and send some value back in return. It's what we call "Value for Value." Right now, there are over 12,000 podcasts you can support on Fountain.fm, with more joining every week. You can support any podcast with a yellow Lightning Bolt on the show or episode pages. If the bolt isn't yellow, that means the podcaster hasn't set up to receive payments yet. You can tag the podcaster in a tweet and tell them to claim their show so you can start supporting them. When you press the bolt, you'll see a button labeled Splits. With Splits, podcasters can share income with guests, contributors, and good causes. Whenever you support a podcast, the money gets divided and distributed to all the splits. To support a podcast, simply listen to any Lightning Podcast, and you'll see two options on the player screen: Stream and Boost. With Stream, you can send sats to the podcaster for every minute you spend listening. The minimum is 10 sats per minute to ensure that each split gets their share. You can toggle streaming on or off from the menu and update the number of sats you want to send every minute. With Boost, you can send sats to the podcaster along with a message. Boosts get displayed as comments so that other listeners can read and respond to them. Fountain.fm charges a 4% fee on top of all streams and boosts, but you can join Fountain.fm Premium to reduce your transaction fees to just 1% and get access to other advanced features. When topping up your wallet, you can choose to deposit with Lightning or with a bank card. To learn more about all of this, feel free to check out the links we've provided. Happy listening and supporting!Today we discussed an innovative way to support your favorite podcasts with the Fountain dot fm platform, enabling you to use Bitcoin Lightning Network to give back to the podcast creators you love. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for even more podcast insights in the future!
