“5 stars for the teenagers and teachers that care enough about others to put this work in where the police weren’t. 0 stars for the ads. I get that this is a business and that you’re making something that you deserve to be paid for, but please re-think the way you’re doing it for the next series. It feels really exploitative and icky to be so aggressively commercial during a victim’s telling of their own story. Again, I get that this is a business venture and that hard work deserves pay, but at least save the ad breaks for either side of a victim’s harrowing tale, rather than interrupting it for long chunks of ads that make the listener lose the thread of what she’s saying - that’s a real disservice to how openly she gave you her words. Ideally also please change up the ads for some variety. It’s making me hate the podcasts that you’re advertising because I resent them so much for so frequently interrupting the victim. Fewer useful opportunities for the advert to be heard will perform better in the long run than actively putting off potential listeners by shoving the same content in over and over.”
