Uninteresting and heavily advertised.
Interesting conversations cut off by intrusive ads that cut in midway through sentences. It’s extremely disappointing as I’d previously had a high opinion of this website’s written work however the poor quality of this podcast has me questioning their quality standards overall.
Think it’s ok!
So frustrating because they have an excellent YouTube channel but the podcast port is an absolute mess. The adverts have totally ruined this because unlike other podcasts which normally have their adverts at the beginning, middle and end of their shows, this pod inserts an advert while the speaker is speaking mid-sentence! Come on developers, sort this out and you may find this is a pretty popular podcast!!
Love the topics, love the presentation, a well deserved 5 stars
