Twitch stars Pokimane and LilyPichu have exposed how profitable their ‘Sweet N Sour’ podcast is – and the results may surprise you.
In September 2024, Pokimane and LilyPichu launched their podcast, ‘Sweet N Sour,’ where the duo would dig into hot topics in the streamer space and share info about their lives.
So far, the podcast has 37 episodes. On the May 24 edition, the two decided to dig into just how much money they’re making from it.

In a highly transparent presentation, Poki and Lily explained how much they had invested in the show, how Patreon plays a factor, and all sorts of other details.
Pokimane & LilyPichu expose podcast earnings
To begin, the two revealed that in order to start up the podcast, it cost over $16,000 to start filming episode one because they needed to design a set and soundproof it.
From there, every month they spent $13,300 to pay their seven staff members and afford tools such as a Sony membership, Google Workspace and Tier 3 Patreon goodies.

However, through ads and Patreon, the two are covering their losses. In March, they made over $18,000, in April a little under $15,000, and in May, just under $16,000.
When all is said and done, their estimated monthly income on the low end is $2,700 and the highest is $12,500, with an average of $5,500.
The fluctuation all comes down to both ad numbers, sponsorships and Patreon memberships, as the most they’ve ever had so far has been 900.

“It’s crazy that even with 1,000-ish Patreon members, it’s making up half of our income. Without our Patreon members, we would not be running,” Poki explained.
Given that the podcast is still in its early days and hasn’t even yet celebrated its one year anniversary, expect to see Sweet N Sour become a lot more lucrative in the months ahead.
Pokimane and LilyPichu aren’t the only streamers to reveal how much they’ve made. Back in December, Asmongold exposed how much he makes from Twitch after finally monetizing his Zackrawrr alt account.
