Value for Value ⚡️
Well, it's good to have you on the show. I feel like it's been a long time coming because, we've been using Fountain since the very, very beginning and really kinda growing the show through it. It's been one of our most exciting ways to interact with our audience and get to know people. And it seems like only yesterday, you and I had a conversation right at the beginning of when you were starting it and sort of giving ideas and feedback and stuff, and it's become like a a huge part of what we do. So before we sort of jump in properly, I just wanted to say congratulations for what you guys have achieved.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.On this episode, Fountain creator and developer, Oscar Merry joins Max for a coffee to discuss all things podcasting, Nostr and Fountain.SHOW DISCUSSIONOscar shares insights into the goals of Fountain, particularly in enhancing user experience with Lightning and making podcasting more accessible and valuable for both listeners and podcasters.We also explore the challenges and opportunities presented by Nostr, a protocol that Oscar believes will be the social layer of open podcasting.
