We love podcasts. We love all the podcast apps. We love podcasts’ open distribution. And of course, we love all podcasters! Podcasts have historically been a love affair for Flattr. It was our biggest use case and had the largest growth. But technology shifts and listening moved from web to apps. A change that had us pondering for years how to make Flattr really great for podcasters again. Now we have!

Our new podcast contribution system is mobile-first and works regardless of what app or podcast service you use. Just like normal flattring, and unlike most contribution and payment services, the Flattr subscription can be shared among all podcasts you love. Rather than competition, Flattr podcast contributions promote cooperation and creation.

For Podcasters – Add your podcast to Flattr

Go to Profile settings and scroll down to Podcasts Search for your podcast If you want to have a specific Flattr URL for it you can do that Follow the instructions and add the URL to your podcast description to verify it’s your podcast Tell your listeners to go to flattr.com/podcast/YOURPODCAST and start a subscription. Your URL is the one you choose above. It works on mobile and is super simple to start (it takes under a minute).

Yup that’s it, but it could be good to give your listeners some context, most importantly:

Flattr is a monthly subscription that is shared between all the podcasts you want
