If there were enough interest, I'd be happy to have others helping with segments, etc. it'd take me a few months to get things in order. Main concern is how much it would cost for web hosting, etc., and I think it might be hard to get advertising for something that realistically would be successful with say 5,000 listeners, and probably fewer than that, after a year.
I'm a comic, and could make a show entertaining. But, at the same time, I've only met one or maybe two comics who successfully monetize their shows. One is Patrick Melton (Nobody Likes Onions), and he has basically turned his entire life into a show. He gives his fans extra content for $10/month, and has about 600 who pay for that. For awhile he was getting 80,000-110,000 downloads per episode.
I'm not sure if Corine Fisher and her co-host have monetized their podcast, (guys we f@cked).
I think the challenge with something like this is that it's such a niche that doing the work to get the guests would be work in itself, and, while I completely understand not wanting to pay for access to a podcast, I also wouldn't want to spend a lot of money, time, and effort for a net loss.
In that regard, it might be better for me to do a political podcast. You can hit a much larger demographic, and find more advertising possibilities.
