I agree with the tipping thing, which is why I subscribe to the Jupiter.party subscription for a little podcast network called "Jupiter Broadcasting" (y'all should check it out! ;P ) I wish the Podcasting 2.0 spec would come up with a subscription model, like you guys are talking about

agreed on the tipping thing not being sustainable. I'd recommend looking at the survival podcast for a more sustainable model. I have bought almost nothing from his msb discount list, but it's easy for me to drop 35-50/year and keep listening

Hello, I don’t think I’ve ever heard you guys mention the Fold prepaid debit card on the pod before. I just wanted to boost in and see if you guys knew about it? I feel like a used car salesman saying this, but it’s awesome! Ive gotten 1.4 million sats back that I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise and just by simply buying the things I would have anyway. You can find them on Twitter @fold_app. The best part is the basic membership is free and you get 1% back on any purchase over $3.
