ANAHEIM, Calif. — When 29-year-old YouTube star Meghan Tonjes launched a podcast with crowd-funding site Patreon a year ago, it was one of dozens of things the singer-songwriter was doing to grind out a living online. Today, it's paying her rent.
Along with posting performance videos on YouTube, touring, selling songs on iTunes and “vlogging” (video blogging), Tonjes sits down twice a week with her roommate in Los Angeles to talk about “Adventures in Roommating.” Nearly 100 online patrons donate a total of close to $700 per podcast, just to listen and maybe get a shout-out.
