Very, very few podcasts have made it to scale, and to me, that says this business will never be big.

As an individual doing a podcast, you don't get even remotely rich. It's not something to do for money.

I don't make money doing my podcast. I've learned that people want to hire creative people who are already doing something when they approach them.

The only way to make podcasting a real big business would be if you could somehow get the top seven podcasters to team up and make a mega-network.

I pushed against doing a podcast for so long. I'm a very late comer to the podcast game. But you're responsibility as a comedian is to get your viewpoints out into the world, and we have a lot more avenues to do that. So it's a lot more opportunity, but really have to work all the time.

Marc Maron's podcast success has nothing to do with my podcast success. If I do a quarter of a million downloads, I can show that to an advertiser as a fact, and that's that.

There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.

Most of the music you hear on the radio today is developed for making money. It doesn't feel true or honest. You can feel it in the music.

I started growing my audience in small clubs through word-of-mouth. I started making music that isn't necessarily commercially viable, and it's not necessarily marketable to my peers to a certain extent.
