  • Decent, but far too many ads (>50% of play time)

    I just finished listening to today’s 8 minute podcast. Approximately 4 minutes and 15 seconds of it was advertisements and that’s not including the necessary fluff and introductory stuff. This podcast is now literally more advertising than it is content, which is sad to see (since I’m sure it’s necessary now).

  • Good content, too many ads

    I like the quick updates but the content to commercials ratio is off. It is a short podcast but often has 4-6 ads. I get you have to raise money but seems excessive.

  • Please stop with Morgan Stanley ads! They make this podcast unlistenable!

    What it says on the title. The Thoughts on the Market podcast ad being vomited on repeat is incredibly annoying, and I really don’t know why Marketplace is regularly promoting a podcast with such a gratingly annoying voice. It’s already made me unsubscribe from Morning Report, and this is next if it keeps up. It’s amazing content once you get past the terrible ads but at a certain point, I can’t handle the constant skipping.

  • An orphaned podcast in Marketplace family

    With a parade of hosts, lackluster stories—some with a 1.5 minute runtime—that didn’t make the flagship program, and three ad blocs (try listening a few episodes back-to-back and you will feel that you’re listening to the same ads over and over with some tiny reporting in between) this podcast is an afterthought among Marketplace leaders and staff. I wonder why I should treat any differently.
