Thank you for sharing your chronic illness experiences with others!This podcast has made me feel less alone with my own struggles. Great topic choices each week.
Unfortunately, I am starting to have a very hard time listening due to the huge number of ads. They happen about every 1.5-2 minutes and always interrupt the speaker mid sentence! Sadly, it’s forcing me to stop listening.
Pauses for intentional ad breaks would be much better! Otherwise it’s hard to focus on anything being said.
