  • Way too many ads & wrong info

    Good podcast but-

    1. ridiculous amount of ads. Let's say the average episode is around 10 minutes long. There are usually at least 3-4 minutes of ads at the beginning and sometimes even an ad at the end too. Here is an example- the episode from 1/22/2026 is 10 minutes long and has 4 minutes of ads at the beginning. That's 40% of the episode. That's ridiculous.

    2. Also, writer/author frequently gets dates wrong. One example (out of many), a 'boating expedition' episode from 12/2025, she says ri... more

    Also, writer/author frequently gets dates wrong. One example (out of many), in the episode 'The curious death of a children's author,' from 7/15/2023, she states that the author was born in 1964 but then a bit later she says that she married her husband in 1966- obviously that's not right since s... more
