Fountain then Youtube
Fountain, audio.
This is the correct answer!
Used to be Fountain but there’s so many issues with it I just got fed up. I use Spotify now
Curl
1 and 5 and I just listen while driving. Mind you I drive for a living and that's 10+hrs/day.
Fountain.
I always listen unless it's something that requires or greatly improves the experience/episode. Talking about if there are a lot of graphs and visual elements, not just people I want to see.
Fountain but never earn sats anymore
AntennaPod
Spotify and mostly audio because I'm usually listening while at work/gym or driving

Listening on Fountain (70%)
Watching on YouTube (30%)
Fountain 100%. Never went back to Spotify 😊

4 and 5. I like video when I can because you get the nonverbal expression too. 👀
Hear me out. I know you don’t like Spotify, but it has video, lets me download, it’s easy to use and has all the podcasts I follow. Fountain when I only use audio, because the video doesn’t work all the time.
I love the Nostr streams when I can catch them! 🤙
Fountain, audio only
Use an app called Overcast.

7 - I use Podverse. Dirt simple. No KYC, open source and running on my Graphene phone. I am legitimately concerned that gov entities use my listening habits to infer my state of mind.
I love Fountain 🤩
7 AntennaPod
Only fountain.
PocketCasts.
Overcast or Castamatic - basically an independent podcasting app + the Podcasting 2.0 index. Can’t let big tech lock down freedom tools like Podcasting.
Fountain - audio
pattern suggests otherwise but...
You think you're that important to the government? 😂
5 to 1 ratio for 5 and 1...
Did you see the persona exposé?
AI governance and surveillance makes everything you do so cheap to index and score. Gullible to think otherwise.
Fountain. Audio only.

Apple Podcasts. Listen only.

Youtube when at the Desktop, Fountain on the go
Youtube works fine with Duck Duck Go player via Libre Wolf browser for a little more privacy.
Funny how many of those platforms are shit, proprietary Babylon shit, far removed from
propagating RSS feeds.
Podverse and Fountain here.
Thank you.
For some reason the OP listed a load of death cult apps.
Spotify and listening only. Mainly while driving or walking.
Podcasting 2.0 (Fountain, PodcastGuru). Live if possible. Audio mainly, unless it's something with charts or some other worthwhile visuals, or its on zap.stream!
A big MEH to every other lame walled-garden without bitcoin payments.
Spotify but I’ve been tryna slide over to Fountain. Podcasts have been more successful than music so far
It is YouTube 🤷🏼♂️
With 'NewPipe' I often download the audio to listen while working on the land. Otherwise, if I have time, I like watching the people talk for a better sense of who they are and if I trust them.
RSS Feed. What else? It's Podcast.
Fountain. But because I feel bitcoin centered podcasts are becoming repetitive, US-centric, and too much focused on doom and gloom, I end up listening to only one or two per week. Time is limited and that is the greatest asset...
Youtube and nostr. Hell no X.
💯
Protocols > platforms
Fountain without video for 90%. Primal for the rest.
Overcast. Their Smart Speed and Voice Boost features are awesome and what’s keeping me from using Fountain.

Always Fountain as the #1 option. Followed by YouTube
I've been a heavy user of the app Podcast Republic for years. Tons of customization options, fine speed variability control, able to download episodes ahead of time automatically and other stuff. I enjoy fountain too though, I use both at this point. I want to support the Bitcoin/Nostr ecosystem!
Spotify, youtube, primal
Fountain
Anything you think we could improve on that would improve the experience compared to Spotify
What’s one thing you’d like to see improved with the Fountain experience?
Planning to add this soon
Let me know if you have any feedback on the Fountain app experience!
Sorry to hear that - can you share the specific issue you encountered?
Glad you asked.
1. Bring video to Android app
2. Fix remote Nostr singer on Android app (currently not working)
Sorry to hear that - would love to improve things for you - what’s the number one thing you don’t like?
We already support video on Android - do you no see an option to switch to video from the player on Walker’s episodes?
I will check the Android remote signer flow for you - are you using Amber?
Wow I found "switch to video" option hidden indeed. It would be helpful if it is a button visible on the screen anywhere.
Yes, using Amber.
The music browser needs some improvements, users need to see genre or subgenre , related organic content We need to discover new music and find familiar artists. Curated playlists maybe?
I love fountain - I want to see my favourite musicians slide over.
What makes podcasting special is choice - you can listen in any app - and creators can host anywhere or even self-host.
Recently we've seen more podcasters recording video - and last week Apple Podcasts announced they will soon add support for video podcasts.
But what we don't want to see with video podcasts is more walled gardens with platform lock-in.
The good news - there is already an open standard for delivering video versions of episodes - the RSS <podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag. If you host your podcast with Fountain - the video versions of episodes use this tag meaning any app can ingest the video and offer listeners the option to switch to video right from the player.
Apple have historically been good stewards of open podcasting - and I hope that they will adopt the alternate enclosure tag with their video implementation.
In the meantime Fountain will keep building on open standards and demonstrate how video podcasts and other new Podcasting 2.0 features can be built in an open way -
It’s Time to Make Video Podcasting Open
A handful of platforms have shaped how we watch podcasts, but open, community-built standards finally offer a real alternative.
We're committed to making the Fountain app the best listening experience for podcasts - please tag me anytime if you have feedback on how we can improve!
View quoted note →Yes the app crashed continuously. And oftentimes I would stop listening in the middle of a podcast and then go back to finish the podcast and it didn’t save the spot where I stopped. So I had to guess where I left off.
inviting communities (around music scenes) to move over to fountain may help. Imagine if an ambassador of fountain brought the line up of ‘this is hardcore’ festival to showcase live music.
There a great YouTube channel hate5six , introduced a ton of bands to me over the last couple of years Guys like that could unlock Fountain for a new group of users
Well, on iphone:
-when you open it just spins and spins and never loads
-have to swipe app closed
-then open again
-should open to my library but opens to some page of shit i don't ever care to look at
-click on podcast show and hit play the previous show will play and have to close app again for the selected one to play
-the app will randomly leap backward 30 seconds in playback

audio only in 99%
(i use Overcast)
Apple and I listen only usually doing other work. Don't watch"podcasts"
For some reason, fountain hasn't rewarded since the 18th of February. And I'm up to date on upgrades 🤷
Youtube...tho I increasingly ask myself why with all the damn ads and censorship
Audio only, Fountain
You guys are off to a great start, only a few suggestions really come to mind.
1: Improving the "open in app" experience when I click links to fountain pages for podcasts as it doesn't really work well.
2: Reducing the minimum sats per minute, this will only get more important as the price rises long term.
3: Increase the options in speed control, I don't like 25% faster as I usually do a modest 10%.
4: Add options that customize Bluetooth button controls when listening to podcasts.
Thanks for asking!
Great feedback - we have something like this coming very soon actually - stay tuned!
Sorry you experienced this - we've fixed this issue in the latest version - maybe you could give it another try and let me know if it works better for you?
I always knew you were a man of culture.
I listed death cult apps because that’s what most people use, and I knew anyone who didn’t use said apps would be sure to tell me.
Also, I put
@Fountain in a different category. They’ve had “zaps” (“boosts”) for years. They also integrated Nostr a while ago. They also have video in addition to audio.
For bitcoiners who only use death cult apps, I always try to push them toward fountain.
Good to hear. There’s also a bunch of other apps that are both open source and support podcasting 2.0 features (therefor btc)
Bitcoin is part of a bigger picture for me, we need more free and open systems and way less digital vampires. That involves a massive culture shift away from current funding models of the Internet. I really like the v4v concept and I hope more people shift their thinking over time.
Loads of great FOSS podcast projects listed at
Podcastindex.org
Podcastindex.org
The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem.
Fountain doing great work for sure and they’ve been very supportive of grass roots level music events, that’s extremely cool! I’m also a fan of Podverse, again it supports direct p2p payments using magic internet money. Win.
We’re all fans of open source money, we need to open source a lot more imo. This is very hard for creatives (music maker not using mainstream platforms myself) but I sleep better knowing I’m trying to be the change I want to see.
My own music/show is self hosted on Castopod, again FOSS and RSS and BTC compatible.
For bitcoiners who only use death cult apps I’d just ask what world do you want to see? One where kids grow up thinking making weird surprised face to satisfy a black box algorithm is normal or something else? Hmm…
Fountain only, audio only - if a podcast only exists on YouTube, is it even really a podcast? Idk 🤷♂️ -
@THE Bitcoin Podcast is excellent ❤️
We need people using more than just Fountain. I still think most people only use Fountain to Boost and still listen in other apps. That's just a guess but it's based off of what I've seen and heard over the years.
Lots of #vibecoding going on but not much in the podcasting space.
My focus is music and helping the devs at Podverse, Castamatic and PodcastGuru out as much as I can because those apps are light years ahead of anything I'd ever make.
but at the end of the day if your using anything but Apple or Spotify to listened to podcast it's a win in my book.
Also worth noting Fountain is NOT open source, but there are plenty of new podcastng apps that are like Podverse and Curiocaster
Oh very nice, yeah I’ll definitely give it a try again
I'm excited for the new Podverse. A little birdie told me he started working on the lightning part. Once he figures out what the hell we're doing.
alpha.podverse.fm
Been, my main choice for quite a while now. Was also very helpful when I had a subscription issue.
Look forward to seeing what he comes up with.
