  • Ad reel podcast

    Unfortunately Ryan just uses the podcast as a huge advertising reel. It fails to really add value to the listener. What compounds this is that I think he’s aware of this.

  • Death by Ads

    I understand every podcast needs to generate ad revenue…but this is absurd. Half of an 8 minute episode is advertising. I’ve never unfollowed a show quicker.
