  • Good show but still get ads in the subscriber version

    This review is not about the content, but rather the fact that ads still appear in the subscriber version of the show. Recently, there have been several days where the subscriber version had ads just like the non-subscriber version. So, I’m not really sure what the point of the subscription is. I have tried submitting this as an issue to Apple, but that doesn’t appear to have helped.
