Terrible Advertisement Experience

3d ago

HontoNiReviewer

Dropping this podcast from my list due to the terrible advertisement experience. One episode had 30 second advertisements playing every 5 minutes. The advertisements started with a loud monster roar that startled me every time. And they’ve continued playing 30 second ads every five minutes since then. Podcasts should better protect their brand from terrible an advertisement experience. Only way to provide feedback is to stop listening. Good luck!

Content is great. Greg is very insightful. However the audio is terrible. At times you can barely hear Greg but Nick is at normal volume levels. This seems pretty basic but they can’t seem to get it right.

pace and power merchant

Trying to listen through the postgame pod and beyond it being released later than other postgame pods (during snf after a 1pm game) and there is a very loud typing sound while greg is talking. Really distracting and should be cleaned up.
Great pod
