  • Essential listening, but who times the ads?

    Love this podcast for repeated listening, but it’s super sloppy when there’s a 30 sec spot interrupting Dave’s opening soliloquy right before the HOW BOUT THAT that I’ve waited all night to hear.

    Is this an Apple thing or an iHeart thing?

  • Too many commercials

    Really good content but I’ve never listened to a podcast with more commercials. Really makes it tough to listen to. Maybe it’s time to charge more for ads and cut the number in half.
