Brilliant, can’t believe it’s free!

This is one of the best podcasts I’ve heard in a long time. Great writing and top acting. Hopefully it continue to reach the standards it’s shown in the first few episodes

Why are there ads, and in such awful places too!?

I thought that being a subscriber we get to bypass such ads? The poorly placed ads had ruined my enjoyment if this which is a big shame. If you must put ads try to put in at the beginning or end for us subscribers, and have it not too long please. I have enjoyed other no QCODE shows, where I am not a subscriber and they don’t have any ads,with some with ads short and placed only at the beginning.

Listened on Spotify and too many ads to make it enjoyable. Shame.
