❤️⚡"Value 4 value" is cool, but many podcasters don't fully understand the concept. It's not just about enabling bitcoin streaming and boosts for your podcast and be done with it.
Important parts are:
✨ Spend time every episode reading the boosts (messages with sats) you received from your listeners. This creates completely different kind of connection between you (the creator) and your audience.
✨ Communicate and explain to your listeners the importance of sending value with boosts (or streaming) to you. It's not donations. It's giving value back for what users /listeners find valuable. We are all crippled by 20 years of ad-based hell Internet. People need to hear your need to change that in your podcast.
Obviously, but probably worth saying explicitly - move away from advertisement based model. You can do that gradually - start replacing some ad slots with v4v.
Here are few examples of well executed value 4 value podcasts :
Linux Unplugged

Self hosted

These guys spend decent amount of time each episode reading and reacting to boosts and they also communicate clearly why it is important.
Do you know any other podcasts that execute value 4 value well?
