Great Podcast, Too Many Ads

Auntie Nik

I have listened to SYMIHC for years and it is a favourite of mine for long drives. I wish there were fewer ads and they weren't so long. Some of them are over 2 minutes. Other than that, this is a very informative and entertaining listen with a huge archive of episodes.
Great content but far too many repetitive ads

Early episodes are quite short, which makes the amount and length of ads egregious. While the length has improved the 3min ad breaks with the same 5 ads over and over gets really old and causes me to avoid this podcast for months at a time.
They have an annoying ad

Their ad Is always playing on other podcasts at first it wasn’t to bad but after hearing the annoying ad opening more than three times in one podcast it gets very old very fast
