March 29, 2023371. Are Podcasting 2.0 Micropayments Actually Worth It?
Podcasting 2.0 introduced a new way for your audience to support your podcast by sending micropayments. This is usually measured by satoshis (abbreviated as "sats"), which are one hundred millionths of a Bitcoin. As such a small portion of cryptocurrency, many people might wonder whether the effort is even worth the return.
Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/micropayments
What is a micropayment?

Podcasting 2.0's "value" feature makes micropayments possible

February 15, 2023366. Should Your Photo Be in Your Podcast Cover Art?
Podcast Cover Art is usually the first and most prominent thing people will see about your podcast—often even before the title itself! Visual space is limited (usually only half an inch or 1.25 cm square—or about the size of your thumbnail). So should you include a photo of yourself in your cover art? Here are some questions to help you decide!
Please share this episode from your podcast app or https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/photoincoverart
