  • Too Many Ads!!

    I’ve been listening to Holly and Tracy for almost a decade now. Over the course of the past year, I’ve noticed an uptick in the number of ads during any given podcast episode.

Then between 300 - 390 seconds (5 - 7 minutes) of multiple back-to-back ad blocks during showtime!!

    I’m so sorry Ladies, the content is great and I love y... more

    I enjoy the topics in this show and the hosts are great. Maybe the topics are a bit too woman focused but I’m okay with that. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed recently that ads seem to be taking up more and more of the total run time. I just listened to a show and it felt so filled with ads that I went back and did the math. Out of 44 total minutes more than half (22:30) were ads. The podcast simply isn’t good enough for a 50/50 split; I’m not sure any show is
