I'm sure even podcasters like to be paid for their work—whether you agree with what they're saying or not. I hear a large number of podcasters slide their commercials and sponsors in as if they're not being sponsored at all—and there are no communications regulations focusing on subversive use of advertisements in those contexts. There is space for the good in the podcast world, but I wouldn't assume it's superior be default. Fool's errand, IMO.
