  • Too many ads, too often

    Really like the long form interviews that Jim Rome does with athletes, coaches and sports media. There are, however, way too many ads. They are played every five minutes, or so it seems. Sometimes after Jim asks a question, an ad is played before the answer to his question. They should be played in a group once or twice during an interview. Other than that, I would recommend this podcast.
