Advertastic
2 adverts in a 7 minute episode?!
Going Downhill
I have listened to many of these podcasts, I think they are a wonderful concept. They help to keep me updated and explain in-depth, but in a short time. However, I am considering this podcast is no longer for me. The Barclays advert is complete overkill. I didn’t mind a short advert at the beginning and end, but the duration of the adverts is longer than the actual content! The advert(s) are exactly same and repeated twice throughout a 5-9 minute podcast. I am fed up of hearing the same, very long, adverts over and over again. The content is still good, but it is very much lost at the moment, and the podcasts are not pleasant to listen too.
