The Program 2025 annual review: How much money does an audio drama podcast make?
I-M-S Monday, December 22, 2025Hi, I'm the author of The Program audio series, a fairly successful fiction podcast that launched on HackerNews in 2018. Seven years later, this little sci-fi anthology is still ongoing, having released 37 (soon 38) episodes and surpasaing 1 million downloads.
I chronicle the ups and downs of creating a niche artistic product such as this in annual reports, the latest of which I just released last week. It offers a transparent view into what goes into making a creative project such as this, and also what you get out of it, because I share all the financial data down to specific revenue streams.
As such, I hope it can be of use to others who are undertaking a similar endeavour. Feel free to ask questions should you have any!
Cheers
