The fan-first way to support your podcasts.
Pod4 sits next to whatever podcast app you already use. You keep listening like normal. We just make sure the time you spend actually shows up for the people who made the show — and you pick up perks for it.
Listen on the player you already love
Apple, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, your car. Pod4 doesn't replace your podcast app. It runs in a small companion app on your phone so we can confirm a real human is in the room when sponsors come on.
Tap in when a sponsor moment hits
When you actually hear a sponsor, hold the Pod4 button for a beat. We verify the moment on your device — raw audio never leaves your phone — and credit you for being there.
Unlock perks from the shows you back
Every confirmed moment counts toward perks: early episodes, bonus content, merch drops, listener-only events. Some creators pool it into community goals. Some let you redeem solo.
Or take a cash-out, if that's your thing
Rewards are the point, but cash-out is always available. Move credit to Venmo, PayPal, or a gift card whenever your balance hits the minimum. No pressure.
Your audio stays on your phone. Always.
When you tap in, Pod4 listens locally for a couple seconds and compares a tiny audio fingerprint to the expected sponsor moment. We never receive or store raw audio. You can revoke microphone access at any time from settings.
Pod4 is a revenue stream that respects your audience.
