Voice is good. But an option for Text-based messages might be good as well.

Let podcasters embed a floating widget (like those popular chat widgets) on the bottom-right or bottom-left of their podcast website.

Allow creators to sell a general membership to their fan page, giving them access to things like: Chat Room Private Podcasts etc. This membership can be based on flat fee, monthly subscription, or yearly subscription.

There is already too much friction in the podcast engagement process. A fan is in Spotify or Apple Podcast, then goes to the show notes which links to your page. If they could leave a comment, this would be amazing... but first they need to create an account. Considering this is likely occurring on their phone, they are likely to abandon this process. If a user can submit a payment without creating an account, why not allow them to leave a message. I understand account creation populates a number of other features, but most podcasters are desperate for any interaction with fans. Having too many fans would be a good problem to have and thats when we'd likely use a platform like Discord to manage community.

Allow podcasters to create fan polls. This is a pretty common fan engagement CTA, so it might make sense to support this kind of feature.

Since podcasters are sending their fans to their fan page...some podcasters are interested in featuring their sponsors on their fan page. We can consider letting podcasters feature sponsor "ad units" to their page.

As podcasters having merch helps us to brand our podcast, even if it’s just a cool t-shirt or hat or bag. To be able to have a page where we could sell our merch on our podcast site instead of going outside to another page might be very useful.

Let creators embed their live video/audio feed on their fan page. This let's them capture activity and fan contacts in the chat room.
