Are you sure that the "life changing amounts of money" are going solely into the pockets of these podcasters and not into expenses like recording equipment, editors, researchers, and so on? I accept that people might find it ironic if someone who complains about wealth inequality is also extremely wealthy, but on the other hand, someone who has managed to become extremely wealthy is arguably the best qualified to judge the unfairness or dangers of such a system. Perhaps a better example of irony in this situation, though, is the fact that capitalism seems to be rewarding people for criticising (and potentially seeking to end) it, which is an odd property for a system to have.
