Minted is an independant podcast. As a result, the show survives on listener support, sponsors, and being an affiliate to NFT/crypto services that provide value to our listeners. Donations are a great way to support the show directly.
The research, interviews, voice-overs, editing, mixing, and mastering are done by one person. Dontations help to support the ongoing cost of producing the show and to upgrade equipment. To give you a sense of costs, here's a breakdown of current monthly expenses:
| Purpose | Apps / Services | Monthly Cost |
| Podcast & website hosting | Captivate, Podpage | $40 |
| Licensed music | Melod.ie | $25 |
| Visual design/marketing | Canva, ConvertKit | $15 |
| Editing, mixing & transcripts | Descript, Hindenburg | $30-$100+ (depending if additional audio plugins required) |
| Recording | Squadcast | $20 (+ cost of recording equipment over time) |
| TOTAL | $130+ per month |
