- Too many ads
I understand the price to pay for free podcasts is adverts, but 6 adverts in 8 minutes, is too much. Disrupts from the enjoyment of the podcast to have to listen to the same adverts again and again.

I don’t know what your association is with ACast is, but they are promoting your podcast during other podcasts I listen to. I heard the same ad for your podcast four times in 30 minute episode, including twice back to back.
I am so sick of the ad for your podcast that I will never ever listen to your show.
And it’s exactly the type of show I would enjoy. If you are paying them to promote your podcast, you’re wasting your money because they’re just pissing people off.
