If you take a penny from the government, you are state sponsored media.
If you take a penny from advertising or platforms, Styx, you're corporate sponsored media.
It's all about who owns you. The sole way to go is value for value. Have listeners donate what they feel it's worth, and take zero ads, zero monetization. Some of the biggest podcasts right now make millions that way, with zero ads, zero sponsors, hell they don't even use a platform, they distribute mp3s via RSS, free, zero censorship possible. You can say literally anything because there is no carrot or stick, and no way to cancel it. Move to that model, get super rich. When you tell people to give what they think your content is worth rather than asking for an amount does make donations and revenue go up. It works
