Ummmm, lots. Joe Rogan made over $100 million on his. No different than a television or radio show, if you’re good at it at least.

Podcasts are watered down.
This might be the worst and most wrong sentence I’ve ever heard. You know what’s watered down: a television show that has 3 panelists who have 5 fricking minutes to each get their zinger out and bury their opponent. You’re not learning really anything from these shows since the narrative is set from the start and nonorganic.
Or how about those late night shows where Seth Meyers goes “Hey Gwyneth heard you were in Italy? Tell me about that!” No Seth, you didn’t hear about that, you were told to ask her that and all of this has already been rehearsed out. You’re not there for the conversation, because there’s no difference between when the cameras are rolling on your show and you start playing the commercials because you are both glorified commercials.
Jimmy Fallon thinks to himself “what do these mouth breathers like to do on a daily basis? I know eat at the shitty Olive Garden, so how about they give us $250K to shoot a scene at their shitty restaurants, we bring in some low ball hot actresses to serve us, and let’s bring on Post Malone to eat with me there. These mouth breathers will eat it up, and after that I’ll play drinking games with Jennifer Lawrence and Tyler Perry”.
And let’s move onto radio... whose left? Howard Stern is a shell of himself. Opie and Anthony are gone. Rush Limbaugh is dead. Trust me if someone knows that he’s talented enough to be listened to from Honolulu to London, they’re skipping radio at this point. Why stay in fricking Toledo or some other city when my message could reach a billion people on a podcast? Plus they don’t have to worry about commercials fricking up the conversation and just cut it together later or do the commercials up front. If you’re under 50, this is a 10/10 bad take.

Ask Joe Rogan, Karen Kilgariff, Georgia Hardstark, Dave Ramsey, and Dax Shepherd how it worked out for them.

The hosting sites drop the ads in. The podcast owner can tell them where to insert it. Some the first ad runs at about the 30 second mark so you get an episode intro, commercial, then the show.

My favorite is when lazy radio hosts just cut up their show into a podcast and release that 
I love radio and don’t have as poor of an outlook about it as you do. If you’re already established as a host, it’s easy to double dip.

It certainly attracts a shite ton of former Navy SEALS for some reason.
If only BUD's included some broadcasting classes. A ton of great stories out there and most of those guys don't know how to tell them in a way that draws the audience in.

The Navy isn't gonna add any more content to BUD/S but after Jump School and once you get assigned to a Team, they must give you a choice of Book Writing/Making a Movie/Starting a Podcast for the FNG's.

Do people make money when doing a podcast?
1% of podcasts are responsible for over 90% of all downloads.
Advertising is peanuts because of that.

the .001% do. It like any extremely competitive field. only the best qbs/instagram models/traders make money from that and it takes a ton of time/talent/start up. 10k hours of work, a huge amount of natural talent in the field, an extreme belief in yourself, and a huge risk tolerance because it's a 99.99% chance it will turn into nothing. Read up on Freakanomics and behavioural economics to learn more about it.

The major podcast make bank, Joe Rogan was making 400k a year before he moved but he's the top dog.
Where are you getting this figure from? Joe was making nine figures a year prior to the Spotify deal.
I’m not countering your point, but that 400k figure was likely a weekly figure for JRE.
And to OP, the more listeners the more value. Howard Stern’s production is worth over 100 million to SiriusXM. You could see how a production with a small fraction of the audience could earn big bucks, even over the internet with independent advertisers and ads in the platform, like YouTube. Plus selling of related merchandise and live shows.

No he wasn’t. 9 figures is at minimum $100,000,000. Seven, sure, but his Spotify deal isn’t 100 million a year, just upfront cash.

No with the exception of Rogan. He makes all the money
Posted on 3/4/21 at 6:55 am to rantfan
Most comedians pods I listen to, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Bobby Lee, Erik Griffin, Andre Santino etc say they make enough on pods that they don't have to travel to do comedy shows. Most have multiple pods. One with another comedian and one on their own. If they weren't making money off them they wouldn't be putting out pods every week.

Yeah I was checking out Tim Dillon’s Patreon the other day, and he makes around a million a year just from that (an extra weekly exclusive podcast and a few fun clips), let alone ads from his free podcast.

Holy shite, really? I had no idea he made that much.
To me he always comes across like he's struggling. Guess it's part of his shtick.
Posted on 3/4/21 at 8:55 am to paperwasp
I think he struggled his whole life up until the point where Rogan gave him enough exposure to change that. I mean I think the guy is a pretty open book; I wouldn’t call it a shtick.
