wait, I can't just make a podcast that's a podcast and because it's a podcast people will give me loads of money?

My favorites though are the folks pivoting who desperately promise it's actually visual, because your brain makes up images for the story, therefore we can actually call it a movie.

One of the fun things about tracking audiodrama crowdfunds is seeing how bad "Audiodrama" is defined. I've seen half a dozen "illustrated audiodramas," one guy that wanted to add CGI in later "to make it a proper show," a couple of straight up stage plays.

I raise you "$20/hour we actually use"

Depends on the structure? If it's one big interview stick it in the middle all at once. If there are natural breakpoints I'd probably prefer two separate 2 minute ad breaks.

Someone's take along the lines of "in order to be indie it has to sound like it was recorded in a bedroom at best" has haunted me for years. There's absolutely no reason that independent creators can't make super polished work.
