Let's Free Podcasts from Advertisers

I am building a startup (https://picopay.app) to offer podcasts a streamlined mode of revenue other than ads. I am doing this because I think re-tethering monetary incentives to the quality of content is going to be critical, so that podcasting doesn't succumb to the same pitfalls other online media has. (Eventually, I think tackling revenue streams in those realms is a must, too. The current trajectory of intertia is not good for our various informational institutions.)

I would love to talk to people who have podcasts, to help shape our MVP. Your insight is valuable.

I would also like to talk to anyone with a technical background who shares my view that this is a critical issue to tackle. I haven't programmed professionally for several years (I'm a lawyer now) but I dusted off my old skills and I've been cobbling everything together myself. I've been going it alone, but having a 50/50 cofounder would, I think, help the startup succeed.
