Episode notes
If you’ve been listening to us recently, you can’t have missed us waxing lyrical about Fountain app (www.fountain.fm), so, we were delighted that Oscar Merry accepted our invitation to come on and tell us all about it.
We were aware of some of the implications of podcasting 2.0, but this episode will give you an insight into Oscar’s vision for the future and how we all benefit. We talk about:
- The Bitcoin back-story starts with a tech/engineering background, the ignored introduction by a friend and a bullishness for podcasts and audio in general
- Building games on Amazon Alexa
- Fountain started with the idea of curating pods with clips (playlists) and integrating Bitcoin wasn’t part of the plan
- How to discover and share the best insights from podcasts
- The open nature of podcasting 2.0
- Fountain contributing to Bitcoin orange-pilling way faster than most of us managed
- Streaming Bitcoin (sats) over the Lightning network to your favourite creators
- “Boosts” (a tip with a message) to help you connect with your audience
- Putting the control of the listening experience in the hands of the listener
- Are podcasters adjusting their content to reflect the interests of their listeners
- Using listener comments in show content
- Why the advertising model will not be replaced by value-for-value (yet)
- Supporting podcast guests with splits
- Exposing podcasters to Bitcoin for the first time
- Decentralisation and interoperability of podcasting apps
- Streaming sats becoming normal in all disciplines
- Lightning comments enabling listeners to help other listeners and hosts interact with their listeners
