Not sure if lnd supports the necessary payment methods, e.g. keysend.

In my opinion, Agora would work better than the existing Podcasting 2.0 apps for monetizing podcasts.

Podcasting 2.0 depends on the listeners making voluntary donations ("boostagrams"). Agora's approach is better, because it requires payment upfront, before the user can download the audio file.

I think that a useful feature for Agora would be a way to generate an RSS feed of audio files. Then any listener could subscribe just like any other podcast.
