Howdy AC,

I don't mean to upset you, but I'm curious. You frequently state that "one can't monetize a podcast network," yet this company, https://www.relay.fm/about, appears to contradict that. They've successfully monetized their podcast network and have remained profitable for several years. So, isn't it possible to monetize a podcast network, especially if the company operates efficiently and leanly?

Looking at the content providers on that service reveals a highly homogenous and singularly focussed group. It raises suspicion that it is a media outlet subsidized by a larger organization with deep pockets.  A front. Can you see that?

 @2b3df152 How do you know they have successfully monetized and are profitable? There about page doesn't state that. I see no such claim.
