Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m a SAH mom, and I LOVE listening to podcasts while I clean, do laundry, garden, etc.
However, the podcasts that I listen to (Free Talk Live, Rachel Maddow and Best of the Left) don’t accurately reflect my conservative/libertarian values…. Although Free Talk Live is pretty close.
Why aren’t there any comparable Republican podcasts? I COULD listen on the radio, but the commercials are forever long, and I don’t really CARE about the traffic, and I don’t want to pay $20 a month to each of the talk show hosts. I like FTL and BOL’s model, you pay if you want to, and they’re also Amazon affiliates, and it works for them.
Just curious, if I recorded the talk shows and cut and pieced together parts of them like Jay from Best of the Left does, and then distributed them as podcasts online, would that be illegal? If so, how does he do that legally?
Thanks!
