If there was a podcast app that catered to the Monero community, what should it be named? My first thought was XMRPod, but I'd like to get more ideas.

@ancap_objectivist, listeners can send superchats or just tips from the podcast app to the content creator. The Fountain app does this already using Lightning.

But why bloat a podcast app with a whole transaction system at all?
There's separate tooling for this already, like the already mentioned XMRChat.
Development time isn't infinite, you'll be spending time maintaining the XMR part that could be put towards podcast tracking, playback, SponsorBlock, etc.; Things more directly related to podcasts.
The Fountain app has been downloaded 140k times. It's popular because it lets people tip with Lightning directly from the app. Adam Curry promotes it all the time because it's the only thing that executes his podcasting 2.0, value 4 value vision. Would be great if we had that for Monero too, no?
I can see people listening to a podcast being more likely to tip if they can press a button in the app vs switching to a browser, entering a URL they have to remember, and then tipping.
As for development time, it won't be a big effort. We plan to fork AntennaPod adding a button that launches a mobile wallet app, like the "Open in My Wallet" button on XMRChat QR code screen does today. It'll prepopulate recipient and amount, listener then looks it over and sends.
