LOVE the smart speed feature and how it doesn't sound as unnatural when sped up

After playing a bit with the app I would only change one thing, as a listener when I'm picking an episode to listen I always read the show notes to see if it's worthy, usually podcast descriptions are long so I feel a popup isn't adequate for reading title + description. Just an Idea to explore: As a podcaster something I would love is the ability to get patrons per episode, it's a way to get revenue and I wouldn't mind giving a % to the owner of the platform ;)

@crisgarner Amazing, we (@adorilabs) have the exact same idea. Monetizing podcasts, especially in "gentler" ways (such as your per episode patronage vs. say "harder" micropayments and some other ideas we are working on). Would love to stay in touch.

*grumpy mode on* Jeez, ProductHunt, fix the posting process. I tried to post this but was redirected to the Overcast 1.0 page, Viraf posted this with a different URL: https://www.producthunt.com/tech... and got four upvotes (including mine) and now this pops up. */grumpy mode off* Besides that: I hope to see that Marco makes a solid living on the sales of Overcast. Payed for the extra features 'cause its one of the finest podcast clients on iOS planet.

Been using this since first version was released with paid upgrade. Now happy to give patronage as well - use this app daily. And with streaming just need a way to ping my product hunt podcast up votes to overcast.

Great podcast app. I yearn for its features each time I listen to an audiobook too

This is my favorite podcast app. Its new business model is quite interesting. In short-term it would definitely be a success, I'm a bit worried for the long term though. Also the podcast recommendation feature is quite interesting. p.s. Overcast actually shows how many people had become patrons today :)

Hands down the best iOS podcast app in my opinion. Been using it since 1.0 came out and smart speed has saved me 192 hours!
