Charging a subscription fee to the PokerCast?

Last week, Mike & Adam were joking about the need to start charging for the PokerCast due to decreasing sponsoring funds throughtout the poker industry...

This got me thinking how much listening to the podcast would be worth for me. Personally, I think a weekly fee of around $1.99 is very reasonable for 2.5-3 hrs worth of solid entertainment and distilled news coverage all conumed while being up and around, doing chores, playing some pokahh or just smoking cigarette. Perhaps even as high as $3-4 if they start producing 2 quality shows (maybe one primarily news related, the other mostly about strategy).

What do you think, would you pay for the PokerCast if no sponsoring funds were available anymore or would you just let it go die a slow death!?

The show is worth much more than that and I'd gladly pay for it.

I pay $9 a month for Bart Hanson's podcast, which is weekly and an hour long.

Doubt I'd pay for 2 though

Re: Charging a subscription fee to the PokerCast?

I think the donation idea is much better, if they seriously do feel the need to raise funds. They'd use quite a few casual listeners if they charged a subscription fee, but they can keep all their listeners and might get as much in donations as they would in fees if they made it voluntary.

I'd probably subscribe/donate either way.

Stars would be pretty dumb to sever ties with the Pokercast.
