I'm spending more time than ever listening to podcasts, most of which are monetized either by advertisements, subscription or Patreon. Podcasting appears to be a medium that actually benefits the smaller players over the bigger ones.

Not sure what the growth rate is, but The top Patreon podcast makes just over $100k /mo (although, most don't list income). Assuming that's consistent that's only enough to pay 10-20 people, ignoring health insurance, taxes, 401k, Patreon's cut, or any operating costs. I've always heard ads were the most reliable approach, though. https://www.patreon.com/explore/podcasts https://www.patreon.com/explore/podcasts
