    Farming is far more demanding in startup capital, labor, skill, and hours.

    Creating a podcast is easy. Creating a good podcast requires skill. Creating a successful podcast requires skill and luck.

      Farming badly and unsuccessfully is comparatively easy as well. Anyone can throw seeds into dirt and wait for rain.

          I could just record myself talking to my cat and be a bad podcaster.

          chokes way up on the mic, drops voice an octave Welcome back to the Aggravated Hour, I’m the Captain, and on this week’s episode we’re going to get right down to tonight’s questions: Who’s a good kitty? Are you a good kitty? Who’s a kitty? Are you grey? I think you’re grey. Let’s examine the evidence.

        Absolutely. My point was that success in farming is determined by startup capital, skill, long hours, and hard labor, whereas success in podcasting requires connections and luck over effort.

        There are many incompetent farmers and many aspiring incompetent farmers out there. They don’t stay that way for long unless they are independently wealthy.

        I have no idea why anyone would down vote you…
