Thanks for the feedback. You will definitely be able to do something like you're suggesting. That's what I meant by "You'll be able to set how much you value each unit of time per podcast."
You have an interesting take that I'll definitely consider, thanks for being so thorough. Also, if you want to see this project come to life, would you mind jumping into the Telegram group? https://t.me/podcrypt
I won't start working on it until we have 100 people there
