I see a few different formats to make money in the future of podcasting...
1) Build your show big as an rss feed, then make money off of underwriters... advertisers, followed by a simple merchandise store on your website, etc.
2) Make the conversion over to the fm by syndicating the show as any other radio show (my current goal). I am also looking at sirius and xm-- does anyone know if they are already picking up podcasts for content? Email me if you know of a specific example of that being the case.
3) Build the show and go crooked-- sell your soul to satan, get money from major labels for payola, include political ad campaigns, accept donations from these people, and turn your program into a fox-news-like propoganda machine. ;-0 <Ah!)
I see those three as the main possible options, and the third one was really more of a joke anyways, so we'll just say that there will be two basic ways to make $ off of your show-- either you take ad rev for your rss feed and include a commercial or two or maybe a little shameless product placement (spp), or you utilize your podcast as an incubator to get your show to the point where it needs to be to make a switch over into traditional radio.
