If The Times or The Spectator or Times Radio or GB News haemorrhage money, no one cares at all. You can just keep cracking on indefinitely, no issue. If one podcast flops, well there's always a bunch of others to fund.

Run something that capital doesn't really want to exist? Need to hope that bourgeois sympathiser isn't a flake or a control freak. Need to hope you've got a bottomless pit of volunteers willing to keep it going and never have life crises, are never flawed individuals, never fall out irreparably.

Need to hope you're good enough to grab a significant audience for it without any marketing budget and that everyone resists the temptation to compromise the content in pursuit of commercial viability.
