  • Sound issues and ads…

    The sound is an issue. I have to turn my volume up 80% to be able to hear anything, then get blasted with ads, which seem to be at a much higher volume.

    There are so many ads. I enjoy the conversations, but the sudden switch from low volume to unbearably loud ads is jarring.

  • 50% Ads

    I’m genuinely curious how they concluded that a 20-minute podcast, with half the runtime dedicated to ads, was a worthwhile format.

  • Great topic, but…….

    …… another ‘ad-gn’ podcast that’s roughly 20 minutes long broken down as follows:

    12 minutes of ads…..

    5 minutes of panel chat…..

    3 minute music/plug at the end
