Thirteen years later, this post is still relevant and welcome. I too was contacted by VoiceAmerica and there was just enough information to picque my interest. I have published a few books, a few DVDs, and I frequently get asked about doing voice over work. It didn't feel all that strange to be asked about a hosting a podcast/radio show. Ever the cynic, I searched for information and found this thread. Thank goodness it's still here. There's no way I would pay these kind of fees to jump into a totally unknown market. I have more than enough recording equipment, I might have to think about content and who to schedule conversations with, but why such a steep cost to buy in? The cheap or FREE way to go about this is through YouTube or Facebook where I can upload pretty much anything I like with little more than a cellphone. Time for me to work on my YouTube channel. :D
