Your biggest expense is your mic, maybe office equipment in your home. You set up a patreon and set a premium tier at 3-5 dollars a month with bonus episodes that have interviews. You get 500 subs in your first month and you're already making 1.5k a month. Then you set up a youtube channel and maybe the subs pile up enough that you get ad revenue. If you're Boomer and Pinder you can absolutely get sponsors as well. Manscaped Hello Fresh etc. Without Rogers breathing down your neck. Just my thoughts.

I don't know, but when I read that and thought about how many hours and just how much work would go into something like that, the payoff seems paltry. Those guys are professionals. Sure, radio has a reputation for not paying great, but that's below poverty level living.
