Most podcasters have no idea who their audience is.
Podcasts hosting on Fountain know Brian from Ohio listens every morning and sent them $58 this month.
That’s the difference that Nostr + Lightning makes.

Podcasts are built on open standards - podcasters publish once and listeners can choose to listen in any app. Video podcasts should work the same way.
The new RSS <podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag keeps podcasting open - allowing podcasters to publish a video version alongside the regular audio - and supporting apps to seamlessly switch between audio and video.
Check out our full blog post below 👇
And ask your hosting company, podcast app, or favourite podcast to support open video podcasting!
