  • Monetisation at the expense of the experience

    I was staggered by the number of adverts - that were pretty ill fitted to the rest of the content and delivered at great length one after the other. Podcasts can be monetised without it feeling like this

  • Ashley Madison

    I just heard an advertisement for Ashley Madison during this podcast. Tell me, how does sponsorship from a company that sells deceiving your life partner and breaking commitments align with happiness? Incredibly disappointed. I will be unfollowing.

  • Agree - too many ads

    Have always loved this podcast - and still do - but agree with others who say the number of ads are spoiling it. Not sure what has happened but in the past month or two the number of ads has just exploded.

    The number of ads are crazy now which just makes it so disjoined and unpleasant to listen to.
