Too many ads
This is a really good podcast. However, as someone who listens to a lot of podcasts I have never listened to one with so many ads. I can’t follow the story because of the amount of them. It’s very hard to get into it because every 10 minutes there’s 2-3 minutes of ads. It’s putting me off listening.
Ridiculous amount of ads!
There’s almost 15 minutes of ads per episode. No thank you! Couldn’t even tell you if the actual pod is any good as it’s so difficult to follow given the volume of ads!!
Great podcast
Johnathon Waltons work is getting better with each passing season. Season 1 was good. He did a great job sharing his personal experience with a scammer. Season two was amazing and by season 3 I was waiting impatiently for each episode to drop. So far season 4 has been great. I don’t watch the Housewife shows so I didn’t know much about Jen but he’s great at introducing these women and getting people who know them to share their real life experiences. Captivating story telling.
