It may be a good idea to add pop-up games. How do I explain this. If I am recording a podcast and say the first 10 listeners to click the pod-up on their screen can claim a prize, that'll encourage people to open the app and click the pop-up. I'm not technical so its hard to explain but yeah.....just a way to make interactions between hosts and listeners etter

I like the gamification aspect and I know at least one big music/podcast app which has really great click rates on their pop-up banners. Having said that, this doesn't seem to fit well with what I'm trying to build, which is a no-nonsense open source podcast app. Some might like the pop-ups you're talking about but I'm sure that more than enough people will complain about it.
