Ask HN: What do podcasters like Andrew Warner and Jason Calacanis get paid?

All I know is that Tim Ferriss, who is running a very successful podcast too, is asking for $7k to $12k per episode from a sponsor. He has up to two sponsors per episode.

John Lee Dumas who runs EntrepreneurOnFire is very transparent with his monthly income and costs.

His latest monthly income report:

And more info on sponsorships:

According to the latter link he charges $18-25 per 1000 listeners. Should be noted that he produces daily podcasts. The CPM should really depend on your niche though.

Calacanis has said TWiST is bringing in about ~500k per year. He does approx. 2 shows per week, so you do the math.
