I like the 6AM, 12PM, 6PM schedule because anything more than that is repetitive. But they need to rotate out their commercials, the crying baby is over done’
Stop the crying baby ad. It is so dang triggering. My kid is 6 years old and that ad is literally giving me flashbacks of postpartum depression. Choose better ads. Way to go Legal Zoom, “how do I be as annoying as humanly possible?” What’s next fingernails on a chalkboard?
I don't know why you would choose to run ads for the first thing is babies, crying in car alarms, especially for your early podcast. I like the format and the content of the actual podcast, but I still don't want to listen to a baby crying on my rush-hour traffic. This is gone on for weeks now and I still don't know what the ad is for cause I keep skipping it.
Content is good!! Change your commercials! No one wants to hear a crying baby as they wake up!!!
This podcast has continued to cut back time after time since it’s inception. They used to have multiple briefings with a variety of news throughout the day. Now it’s just three short briefings with the same nonsense. Oh, and they have the absolute worst commercials ever, including a screaming baby. The second podcast starts. STOP the insanity!
PS… Still WAY better than fake, tabloid trash, like Fox News.
