All Wondery podcasts are pay to play now. I don’t even bother anymore.
Too many ads
2024-12-26
The way Wondery puts ads out for new seasons and shows as a 6-minute episode via every single Wondery show people follow is absolutely insufferable. Add to that countless more ads across other podcasts - 🤯. I never want to hear a peep about this stupid cotton club ever again. Please reconsider this practice.
Super confusing

Great story with great writing and solid narration, but it just jumps around far too much to be followed and listened and takes waaaaaaay to long to tell this story.
