I’ve just stumbled on this piece of news and thought I’d let y’all know about it:
Ricky Gervais takes podcasting paid-for
The Ricky Gervais Show is to become the first paid-for Podcast.
The show features British comedy personalities Ricky Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington. Their irreverant brand of monkey-based comedy has seen the weekly half-hour podcast storm to the top of the iTunes charts and stay there.
The first run of 12 episodes was sponsored by UK newspaper the Guardian and were free to download via iTunes. Following on from the success of the show, the second run of episodes will be hosted on Audible.com and will be accessible only to those who’ve paid a subscription fee.
For the foreseeable future, Boxcutters will remain a free podcast - don’t you worry about that

Bugger that. Ragardless of how good a radio show is. I won’t be paying for it. There is more than enough money to be made through nich marketing advertising. There is no need what so ever to make a podcast pay-per-listen.
