Nice podcast, but the ads stink. I’m writing this just to protest the amount of stupid ads you have here.
Too many ads & irritating voice

I used to love this podcast. Now it’s 2 mins of ads to get to 2 mins of content. It makes listening to episodes back to back impossible due to the aggravation. Also the old host’s voice was nice. The new one puts an “uh” at the beginning of every word. I hate to criticize someone’s tick but it quickly gets very distracting.
