Before every show, I ask listeners on Twitter to send in their best questions for future guests. I read off all the questions for the guest, and pick one listener to receive a split of the sats earned for the episode.
To ask a question, send a message, or to support the show, download Fountain from the App Store and load your wallet with a few sats.
