“I’m writing this review about the podcast from its inception up to around 2021. The storytelling at the beginning at most of the episodes about the hypothetical future is riveting, and the writing is quite engaging. I also enjoy the way the episodes are structured.
That said—and I’m not going to take any points off of my review for this—but the ads are so obnoxious and take up so much of each episode that it greatly impacts my enjoyment of the pod. I get that they need sponsors to continue doing the good work, but I feel like playing the exact same ads for ~3 minutes or more every 6-10 minutes of content is just so excessive and disruptive. I’m admittedly ignorant as heck and have never created a podcast, so I’m willing to accept that I’m just dumb, but I feel like they could make the ads at the beginning and end longer and shorten the ad breaks throughout each episode. I don’t know, I just think it’s crazy how many ad breaks there are and how long they each last considering most episodes are only 25-45 minutes long. Much longer and more frequent than BTB or other podcasts I listen to. Anyway, rant over. I still love the podcast so far and you haven’t lost a listener.”
