    Dude wants to turn personal podcast queue management into yet another media gavage? Wut?

    These people are why your phone is tracking everything you do. And selling that info. They sound like your friends. They’re not.

    It seems that every time they quote stats in this show, they twist them to make it seem like there should be more advertising in podcasts. As if the skip button doesn’t exist. As if the metrics are honest. As if the numbers don’t actually show audience prefers no ads. It all s... more
