  • It’s all commercials and ads

    One of the most obnoxious podcasts I have ever put on for myself. The ads are every five minutes and a minute long. Very aggressive ad settings. How is this the first time I’ve ever listened to the podcast and I don’t want to be back, just because of all the ads?!
