Welcome to Fanzone, your bite-size guide to getting the most out of the TrueFans podcast

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:42,560
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

10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,560
I'm Claire Waite Brown, independent podcaster and all-round podcast enthusiast.

11
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,720
And I'm Sam Sethi, the CEO and founder of TrueFans.

12
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Hi Sam, how are you?

13
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,920
I'm good Claire, how are you?

14
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,520
I'm very well, thank you. Let's get straight to it. Tell me please, in a nutshell, what

15
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,520
is TrueFans?

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,520
TrueFans is a podcasting app. It's a brand new podcasting app and it has a lot of exciting

17
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:27,080
new features in it such as chapters, transcripts that allow you to do more with your podcast

18
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,240
to help you discover stuff, interact with your favorite creators or even make money

19
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,240
or pay your favorite creators as well. And many more things that we'll tell you about

20
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,800
in the next few episodes.

21
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:44,640
Well that does sound very exciting. Speaking about money, we've gone straight in with that.

22
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,400
We talk in a future episode, episode four, about how listeners are given a wallet when

23
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:58,520
they join TrueFans and how they can fill that wallet with, let's call them tokens for now,

24
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,440
that they can pass on to podcasts to show their appreciation to the creators and perhaps

25
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:09,880
send them comments. Can you just tell me how that works, the tokens within the wallet and

26
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,800
we'll go into more detail about the wallet in the future.

27
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,920
Yeah, very simply, your wallet will have tokens, they have monetary value and so you listen

28
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,300
to your favorite podcast. You don't have to pay anything but if you choose to tip them

29
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:30,600
with some money, the tokens, then you can choose the amount you want to give to your

30
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,200
creator and it goes from your wallet directly to their wallet. It's a very simple system.

31
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,040
And listeners listening to this series can earn some of those tokens as they listen,

32
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,040
is that correct?

33
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Correct. We value your time and attention. So by giving us your time to listen to this

34
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,840
episode, we want to reward you and the way that we will reward you is to give you tokens

35
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,560
from our wallet into yours.

36
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:02,840
Fantastic. You may be listening to this episode having already seen it on TrueFans and if

37
