  • Great content but injected ads are unfortunate

    Been a listener since the first episodes. Hosts, content, and frequency are all first rate. However, the auto injections of seven-plus minutes of ads per episode for the 2024 season is disappointing and will probably lower the listening priority to me. I get it, ads are important. But injecting them mid sentence multiple times during an episode is a huge distraction. And if I’m Jax Cafe I wouldn’t be a fan of one of those injected ads being inserted DURING JGs ad read for their restaurant.
