Great show, but the constant barrage of ads is ridiculous

I’m quite enjoying this audio drama, yeah it might be a little overacted at some times, but the story is interesting.

But the ads, omg the ads. The same ads are played about 4 times an episode, and it’s not like one or two, it’s at least 2-3 minutes. So 2 mins of ads 4 times an episode…that’s 8 mins of runtime that is just repeated ads. The episodes run 30-40 mins, so a third to a quarter of it is ads. I understand ads are necessary, but that’s overkill. Especially when it’s the same ads in every ad break and there’s no distinction between the ads and the actual content. The first ad sounds like it’s part of the episode until it goes on and you realize.

This probably will be my last iheartradio show.

So. Many. Ads.

Really wanted to like this but it’s more ads than actual podcast.
