Quite a few content creators have reached for some combination of tools like Patron and paid private memberships.

Pre-roll and mid-roll ads are also getting more common in both YouTube and podcast content as well. I think one tricky thing is reach, YouTube promises a huge potential audience that you don't get syndicating your own RSS feed and residuals don't usually exist for pre/mid-roll ads like they do for YouTube (if you get much longterm growth).
