  • Great Show, but the Ads

    There has to be a way to keep the adds from flaring up mid sentence sometimes. Between the abruptness of it and the volume differential it’s brutal. The show itself is lovely and I appreciate the intelligence that goes into it. But please, tweak the structure so there’s a church and state between the ads and content.
