Misleading Teaser/Feeddrop
The teaser for „Infamous: Gwyneth Paltrows Ski Trial“ on this feed is very misleading. It says: „Murder on the Ski Slope“. I don‘t know if it‘s supposed to be funny, but people who don‘t know the case might think that somebody was intentionally killed. Nobody died, nobody was murdered. Also it is doubtful if the trial „gripped the nation“. Very clickbaiting, untrustworthy way to promote another podcast. Not doing the team from Infamous a favor with this one.
Way too many add breaks
The story was great but the interruptions from the add breaks annoyed me to the point where I stopped hearing the show for a day and switch to something else.
