    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!
