I would bet he looked into that. Hosting video, with the number of hits he gets on YouTube...I don't think he can afford it. Bandwidth is expensive, and YouTube picked up that tab for a long time. Spotify is doing it now. There were signs he was looking to jump ship for a long while before he announced the Spotify deal, and he knows people who know WAY more about these things than he or I do.
There's a difference between personal wealth, and paying for bandwidth his show requires. He'd also have to start a much larger company to handle all of that, with expensive lawyers to fend off lawsuits. And, he might just not want to do any of that. He probably just wants to flip a switch in his backyard studio, and go.

And he could easily do that. He doesn't even have to record them visually. He could hop on Apple Podcasts and start tonight if he wanted.
Apple would never allow that near their platform. Didn't Parlor wake you up to that?
Apple would 100% allow JRE on their podcasts app.
I'm talking about Trump.
And, JRE is not on their podcasting app anymore. Spotify has an exclusive contract with him.
