  • Stop the background music

    Yes there are far too many adverts but the background music is the most jarring thing about this show. Otherwise very useful and interesting podcast.

  • Full Of Adverts

    On that latest episode I listened to the first 4 minutes were all ads. Total turnoff.

  • Advert SPAMMING

    Great insight into the travel industry with great content, tips and advice but the ratio of advertisements to Podcast airtime is way too unbalanced. If you listen to episodes back to back as I do, you will spend far too much time using the fast forward button to avoid the constant, repetitive adverts.
