“This is a fantastic podcast but the ads are absolutely brutal. I just started it so I listen to many episodes in a row which means I’m getting approximately 12 adds / hour. What’s worse is there usually the same ads over and over for other podcasts.
A note to advertisers, hearing the same add every 10-15 minutes for your stupid podcast does NOT make me want to listen to it EVER, or mention it to other people. I’m actually starting to hate podcasts I’v never heard cus of this. It also makes it extremely annoying to fall asleep to an otherwise enjoyable podcast because the ads irritate me each time I hear them.
I don’t know if this is greed on the podcast producers, unreasonable airtime demanded from the advertisers, or both. Why can’t the actual actors stick to just making a quick shout out to something during the podcast, as apposed to the never ending, repetitive, nonsense that I am constantly forced to listen to. And no I will not be subscribing to some premium version to avoid the ads. You don’t get to purposely create a mediocre free version, to trick me into a paid.
I want to love this show because I love the content, but the cost is so disruptive I don’t know if I will be able to stick with it. This is especially a shame because it is genuinely funny, creative, and original. Hopefully I can stick with it…”
