Welcome to Fanzone, your bite-size guide to getting the most out of the TrueFans podcast
app. In each episode we'll discuss an aspect of the app and hopefully answer any questions
you may have about it. Plus, when you listen to Fanzone in TrueFans you can earn as you
listen and use your earnings to support your favorite podcasters.
I'm Claire Waite Brown, independent podcaster and all-round podcast enthusiast.
And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder of TrueFans.
Hi Sam, how are you?
I'm good Claire, how are you?
I'm very well, thank you. Let's get straight to it. Tell me please, in a nutshell, what
is TrueFans?
TrueFans is a podcasting app. It's a brand new podcasting app and it has a lot of exciting
new features in it such as chapters, transcripts that allow you to do more with your podcast
to help you discover stuff, interact with your favorite creators or even make money
or pay your favorite creators as well. And many more things that we'll tell you about
in the next few episodes.
Well that does sound very exciting. Speaking about money, we've gone straight in with that.
We talk in a future episode, episode four, about how listeners are given a wallet when
they join TrueFans and how they can fill that wallet with, let's call them tokens for now,
that they can pass on to podcasts to show their appreciation to the creators and perhaps
send them comments. Can you just tell me how that works, the tokens within the wallet and
we'll go into more detail about the wallet in the future.
Yeah, very simply, your wallet will have tokens, they have monetary value and so you listen
to your favorite podcast. You don't have to pay anything but if you choose to tip them
with some money, the tokens, then you can choose the amount you want to give to your
creator and it goes from your wallet directly to their wallet. It's a very simple system.
And listeners listening to this series can earn some of those tokens as they listen,
is that correct?
Correct. We value your time and attention. So by giving us your time to listen to this
episode, we want to reward you and the way that we will reward you is to give you tokens
from our wallet into yours.
Fantastic. You may be listening to this episode having already seen it on TrueFans and if
so, very well done you. For those who have found this podcast on another podcast app,
Sam, where should those listeners go if they have been excited and enticed by this episode
to start exploring TrueFans?

Thank you so much, Sam. I look forward to learning more.
Thank you, Claire.
