“And I say ‘background music,’ but that really requires it to actually be in the background. This is so loud that it’s impossible to hear – or at least concentrate on – what’s being said. I actually had to give up trying to listen. On the bright side, it almost makes the endless ads seem less...”Read full review »

“That’s all I can do, because I’m busy and can’t fast forward, and there’s at least 1/3 of the episodes that’s dedicated to dumb ads! I’ll never felt a podcast creator for needing advertisement to keep the show float, but this is subsidized by iHeart media. This should have the ability to have...”Read full review »

“Too many ads. Too little content. Shocked there are so many producers for such a small amount of work.”

“Ridiculous number of annoying advertisements for a superficial history of the Zodiac Killer. Interrupts the storyline and distracts the listeners. Like the old TV 📺 shows from the 1970’s.”

“The ads are so disruptive and very long. The episodes are short to being with and the actual episode is about 50% ads, and I’m not exaggerating. I DNFed after like the fifth episode because it was hard to follow with all the constant interruptions. And I know the zodiac story well! There are 2-4...”Read full review »

“Way to many ads to properly engage with the storyline. I get it to have an ad or two in the beginning and maybe one or two more short ones in the middle. But to have 3-5 one mi ute or so ads in the beginning and in the middle is way too much.”

“There is a good podcast in here somewhere. Of a 27 minute episode, first 3 are ads, then a promo of the episode you’re about to listen to, then ads, then a little bit of something, more commercials, a promo of the next episode, and more ads. Do not recommend.”

“Basically title. The storytelling is really good, with great resources and guest speakers. But 4 3-minute ad breaks in a 27 minute episode is way too long.”

“15 episodes was too long considering a large amount of the run time was for boner pills and booze gadgets. However, the series is addictive and does paint a skeptical and fair portrait of what is known and what is speculated about the phenomenon.
Most of all the consumer is also compelled to ask...”Read full review »

“About 1/3 of every short episode is ads, it’s maddening to try to listen to it. It WOULD be a good podcast, sadly,
it’s unlistenable unless you can easily forward through all of the ads. Never listened to a podcast with so much advertising. It’s a deal-breaker.”

“The podcast is good but my gosh…the ads are crazy! Like most heart shows this podcast is filled with ads some of which make zero sense with the topic of the show. It’s almost ruined by the number of ads. One episode was 33 mins long with almost 10 mins of ads you have to fast forward through.”

“I have found that all the iheart shows are VERY ad heavy. And I don’t know why I’d pay for no ads on a show that only has about 10mins of content without the commercials. (A hard concept for capitalists to grasp.) This is constant throughout the iheart podcast network. Great ideas for shows,good...”Read full review »

“Take the length of the episode and deduct about 1/3 of it for ads and a preview for the next episode. A lot of time spent adding nothing and saying even less. A waste of time unless your a fan of constant ads. I wouldn’t waste my time on this and I won’t be wasting future time on any of their...”Read full review »

My biggest complaint is the crazy amount of ads in this show. I fast forwarded through most, but it was a bit annoying. Overall this is a great...”Read full review »

I’d like to listen to this podcast but the amount of ads make all the research and thought the authors put into the show a waste.”

“If you like ads for other shows. This is your show to listen to. Every episode is mostly ads every few min. Not a show you can start and listen to while at work or something. Constantly ads over and over every episode. Big 👎”

“Well written, investigated, and preformed. But my god the ads. Their timing and volume are beyond distracting. It never lets you become immersed. The best way to explain this, is switching “out” and “in” from that famous Al Pacino line.
“Just when I thought I was in, they pull me back out!””

“Love the story, but even for the subscribers the ads are still injected into the story. Please find a way to solve this, been a fan since the first monster series, got excited about the subscription in hope for it being ad free but doesn’t look that way, just series perks I guess.”
