A comment on Spotify's podcast bet went wrong. Parent comment
Some guesses.
People didn't historically pay for talk radio. (OK, Serius in part. But that was always a pretty narrow slice.)
A lot of podcast content is pretty niche and not especially mainstream. Not sure how easy to monetize outside of advertising/sponsorships.
It started out very grass roots.
