Nice work to the Supercast team! Product looks great. Can't wait to see how it goes with the Meet The Mentor Podcast.
Congrats on the launch, very cool! Weβre in the middle of working on an open standard for improving the UX around access-controlled podcasts from any app , and it looks like Supercast would definitely benefit from https://www.producthunt.com/post.... I would love to hear your thoughts / get you involved in writing a final spec over at https://github.com/podpass/spec
@avery_schrader hey Avery! Thanks for the support. Patreon is a great platform for content creators generally, but it wasn't built with podcasters in mind.
Broadly speaking, it visibly sits in the middle of the creator <> fan relationship. For example, to support a creator on Patreon subscribers need to have a Patreon account. Not ideal for podcasters who want to actually own the relationship with their audience. We designed Supercast to get out of the way and help podcasters own that relationship directly (listeners don't need to sign up for an account that's visibly attached to a third-party platform).
Patreon also don't make it easy for subscribers to add your custom feed to their podcast app, for example: We've found that asking listeners to copy and paste an RSS URL from their email client to their favourite podcast app (hardly any of which make it easy or intuitive to actually subscribe to a custom feed) is so high friction most people just don't bother.
Supercast also offers far richer analytics designed specifically for podcasters.

I was the original podcaster in the real estate space and the issue I had was exactly this. I'll be using this for sure. I still have closer to $10k per month when I started back in 2012 my listener so super excited since I'll be podcasting again.
