It costs a company a lot more to employ someone than the amount that employee actually sees on a paycheck.

Also where did you get the $20K/month/podcaster number from?? You're just making stuff up.

he was dividing the $60k over 3 people.

Agreed that's simplistic, but it's a starting point.

Assuming taxes, office overhead, other processing stuff, keeping profit overhead in place, etc, one could still be paying 3 people $5k-$10k/month with room to spare.
