Ben Affleck, 52, is reportedly being offered a substantial amount of money to host a podcast alongside Matt Damon, an idea pitched as a way to generate revenue for their production company, Artists Equity.
A source told RadarOnline, "They would own the format. It'd be a cheap way to crank up cash flow and create a direct line to their fans like never before."
The source added, “Everybody who knows Matt and Ben knows they have a pretty incredible story to tell, and they can convert their relationship and bond with their wives into content.”

Jennifer Lopez reportedly fears Ben Affleck will open up too much on the podcast, especially if he's casually chatting with Damon.
“She would freak out if Ben went wild on the podcast,” said an insider. “They lived together twice, broke up twice – they've seen the best and worst of each other – and if Ben is just sitting there shooting the breeze and getting loose with Matt, then JLo knows anything could spill out.”
According to insiders, Lopez is particularly concerned that Affleck might reveal “warts-and-all” details of their relationship, which she wants to keep private forever.

Sources also claim Jennifer Lopez worries Ben Affleck might use the podcast to reframe the narrative around their breakup.
“He's had such a hard time in the press and there's a side of him people don't get – and that includes JLo. Even now, there are people who believe she was too good for him, or he wasn't good enough,” noted the insider.
The insider added, "She doesn't want to be painted as a control freak who kept tabs on him or the one who pushed him back with her, and it would be the ultimate betrayal from her perspective if he shared too much."
The insider further said, "He has to be considering it, but scared of it at the same time as she sweats over how it will play out.”
