We are now well aware that as time has passed, the blockchain and those who govern its advances never hesitate to come up with great new concepts that enable new ways of enjoying and interacting with entertainment.

take as an example “Play to win”, widely used in Play-To-Earn crypto games, is a concept derived from crypto games that gives players new opportunities to earn real-world money and more value when playing games. The list goes on, but more recently a winning mechanic has been discovered, this time for podcast hosts and lovers.

Here we detail this one, as it is a very interesting concept that has a lot of potential, especially when you consider how popular the world of podcasts is. Combine this with the growing Web3 industry and the opportunities seem endless…

So what is this new concept exactly?

“Listen and win” is why we’re making a fuss! This new approach to consuming podcast content has been brought to us by The Fountain, a podcasting app. His goal with this app is to revolutionize the podcasts we listen to by giving back more to the people who allow them to thrive in the first place, the listeners at home!

He Fuente has been associated with Zebedee they are proving to be a major player in the world of cryptocurrencies. They are a team that provides web3 solutions to new and upcoming companies looking to use the profit potential and technological advances that cryptographic fundamentals can bring to audiences and organizations.

“Years from now, we will look back at paid subscriptions for content platforms that are unrelated to how much we actually use those platforms and laugh at how basic and inefficient it was. ”

Oscar Merry, the CEO of Fountain, has high hopes for this new partnership that is looking to disrupt podcasting as we know it, but it seems for all the right reasons.

With the current economic climate being felt around the world and the untapped nature of cryptocurrency trading, this Listen and Earn Model is another reason why web3 is proving to be a game changer.

User-friendly experiences!

One thing newcomers to Web3 experience is learning the ropes of wallets, technologies, and jargon. If you’re a casual consumer of entertainment, then this barrier to entry can be very, very daunting. It often leaves a bitter taste in people’s mouths. I think this is one of the many reasons why people are put off by the words “Bitcoin” and “Crypto”. However, I digress.

If the above applies to you, then you’re in luck, as the Fountain podcast app is incredibly easy to use. There is no need to integrate a blockchain listing wallet like MetaMask or Gemini, as earnings are distributed via your standard credit and/or debit card from your traditional bank.

There is little or no reason why Traditional podcasting platforms are a ticking time bomb.. They are offering zero returns for those who keep their brands afloat. It’s only a matter of time before this new concept is adopted on a more mainstream level!

Imagine years from now, Joe Rogan revokes his billion-dollar contract with Spotify and turns his attention and programming to a platform like Fountain. It is very possible if this recovers.

Is the Fountain app available now?

It certainly is, and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store right now!

Currently, their list is somewhat minimal with a total of 50 podcast shows listed on the platform. These shows are easy to listen to and cover topics like technology, cryptography/web3. Music, politics, business, and self-improvement to name a few.

If you have a podcast of your own, you can apply to be on the Fountain podcasting app today. This can be done through your site!

Be on the lookout for more Listen and Earn projects. We have absolutely high hopes for this upcoming blockchain prospect.
