Your next taping can sell tickets.
You already record on a schedule. Put a rising-price ticket on the live taping: it starts at $1, climbs a little with every sale, and your earliest listeners get in for almost nothing. The episode still ships to your feed like always. The live room becomes something your community pays to be part of.
Path one
A button on your own site
You already have a website and your own way to stream. Add one line of code and your page gets a live rising-price ticket button. Money goes straight to your Stripe account. The fee is 3% per transaction plus Stripe's processing.
Best when you control your own player, feed, or members area.

Fully hosted on bumpsale.live
No site, no streaming setup? bumpsale.live gives your taping an event page, ticketing, the stream itself, live chat, and a replay window. Your co-hosts join a browser studio from anywhere. One 14% platform fee covers all of it, deducted automatically, and you keep 86%.
Best when you want the whole thing handled.

Day-one listeners win
The people who share every episode get in for a dollar. Being early finally counts for something.
The price is the promotion
Every sale nudges the price up, which gives your feed a true, honest reason to say: it will not be cheaper than today.
Nothing to refund or gate
The taping happens, the replay window passes, the episode goes to the feed. Your regular show stays free.
Try it on a milestone episode
Episode 100, the big guest, the season finale. Pick one taping your listeners already treat as an event and put a $1-start ticket on it.
