The ads, the ads

Actual Marketplace Minute content is great, and used to listen to 1 or more at a time. The ads are too much though - I stopped listening to this podcast months ago.

To the Marketplace team, I’m really sorry!

Commercials too annoying for such a short podcast

I like the content, but the recent very annoying, loud, and jarring M1 Finance commercial at the start of the podcast was just too much. Commercial at the start, 60 seconds of content, and commercial at the end. It’s just too many commercials. When that starting commercial became annoying, it was the straw that broke the camels back for me, so I unsubscribed. I switched to WSJs Minute Briefing that is similar in length and 3 times/day. It also has a commercial at the beginning, but it’s not loud and annoying (yet!), and I like their content.

No longer Worth my time

Short, concise, accurate. Market news without commentary, love this podcast, but 45 seconds of commercials for 60 seconds of news has me dropping this from a five star review and out of my must listen daily lineup. Sorry Marketplace.
