This is an important topic... and I think he's right to make the arguments he does. However, the reality is that the "listener supported" model is really hard to pull off. Listeners to benefit, but they have a difficult time compensating the creator.

That is one reason that I am not opposed to sponsorships. I think the sponsorship model, where an organization with something to sell pays to get in front of the audience of the creator, can be a good option. The players with money and motivation to pay, do pay.

I do not have personal experience with this model, however.
