"Dave Asprey, host of The Human Upgrade, charges guests an average of $50,000 to appear on his biohacking podcast, which he says gets downloaded millions of times a month. He says that about 1% of episodes feature paying guests, and that he rejects plenty of offers from others. At the end of every episode, he discloses to listeners that the podcast “may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services,” and that individuals on the show “may have a direct or indirect financial interest in products or services referred to herein.” “Appearance fees make sense in only certain circumstances,” Asprey says. “It has to be a weird confluence of a true expert who’s doing something new and interesting. I would take as many as I can get that meet my standards.”
