“I like to listen to podcasts to relax, sometimes to listen to as I fall asleep. Karina Longsworth voice is soothing. Unfortunately every commercial is several decibels louder so it is not only incredible jarring but if you are falling asleep it shocks you awake. Or if you unfortunately fell asleep listening to this podcast you will find yourself awoken in 20 minutes stints. It makes the podcast completely unlistenable. Even just listening to it casually, when the commercials come on blaring it makes you jump. I have to unsubscribe because I don’t want podcast episodes to fall into my cue. It’s such a poor advertising strategy too, the volume increase of the commercials makes the commercials so irritating that I find myself despising the products advertised. You have to wonder what idiot thought increasing the volume would be effective. Yes you take notice, but you also start to hate the product annoying you. Sad that You Must Remember This has fallen into that category, but I guess the revenue was worth it to them.”
