Episode description

Welcome to another episode of the About Podcasting podcast. This week, I had an insightful conversation with Sam Sethi from Truefans.fm, a modern podcast app. Sam shared his journey into podcasting, starting from his days at Microsoft and Netscape, to his foray into radio, and eventually podcasting. We delved into the inception of Truefans, the challenges and breakthroughs he and his CTO, Moe, have faced, and the unique features that set Truefans apart from other podcast apps.

Sam discussed the importance of valuing users' time and attention, and how Truefans integrates micropayments to reward both creators and listeners. He also shared his thoughts on the limitations of traditional app stores and the benefits of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

We explored the innovative advertising model Truefans is developing, which allows users to get paid for listening to ads, ensuring zero wasted marketing budget for advertisers. Sam also touched on the future of podcasting and the potential of micropayments to revolutionize the industry.

Throughout our conversation, Sam's passion for technology and user-centric design was evident. He emphasized the importance of feedback and continuous improvement, and how Truefans aims to simplify the user experience while offering advanced features.

Join us as we dive deep into the world of podcasting, technology, and the future of digital content with Sam Sethi.
