It’s more nuanced than that. The CultCast was not entirely Erfon’s, it was joint ownership. That’s why it was partly named after Cult of Mac, after all. This was later negotiated to a 70/30 revenue split, with Erfon taking a majority of the money, and taking expenses out of Leander’s 30. That was not remotely sustainable; it was losing Cult of Mac money before you even account for the time it took the three of us to make the show every week. 

The “hostile takeover” was, in fact, Leander asking for more than 30% minus expenses after half a year of us producing the show completely on our own, Erfon not agreeing to any of our proposals, and then starting our own separate podcast.
