  • Not worth it

    Don’t bother loading it or subscribing. There’s an insulting amount of ads in each episode.

  • So so so many ads- over 50%

    I love the content, but a 18 minute episode had 8 minutes of ads at the beginning and 2 minutes at the end.

  • too many talking ads

    8 mins into an episode and they are still talking about ads instead of the main topic - so i clicked off wishing i could leave the episode a thumbs down - the episode is only 32 mins but full of ads at the start

    this is for “Do you really need 8 hours of sleep? | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter”

    although most epithets a dilution of ads

    I enjoy the topics but can hardly bear to listen to even half an episode. Whose in your organization thought it was a great idea to place stupid annoying sounds effects? Is the person developing them a relative who needs a creative outlet?
