Breakdown of podcasting financials in full detail

I always wondered podcasters who have a sizable following, how the sausage is made, financially. Here's a video which goes in depth, Bald Move, which reviews TV shows, don't know what else, have only listened to them a couple of times, but  relatively well known.

The (other) interesting thing is that they posted this because their store got dropped from the affiliate program cutting their revenue significantly.  They posted a GoFundMe to raise $25k and got (I believe) $38k in 5 days.  Crazy that they could raise that in such a short time and they were in awe/shock and extremely grateful to their listeners.

Just started listening to these guys for Game of Thrones and Westworld.  I don't watch a ton of TV but they are pretty good and have dry senses of humor which I enjoy.

These guys seem to be poor managers of the business side of their podcast, although it is tough to say what exactly they're doing wrong without seeing their download stats. Begging for money is a weak move in my opinion. Offer a product that provides value and sell it.
