Artificial Intelligence Masterclass

I’m enjoying the podcast, it’s a very informative and intelligent podcast on the current state of artificial intelligence. Now I understand that podcasts are monetized, and the easiest way to to that is by running ads in the podcast. For a free show (without paid subscription), I expect to have ads. But the ads just pop up out of nowhere—literally mid-sentence, the host will be in the middle of a sentence and it cuts to an ad, then returns to the podcast—right in the middle of the sentence. It’s jarring and frustrating.

I recently discovered this and trying to catch up. Slightly confused as I pore thru episodes how some older ones seem to keep resurfacing and show today’s download date. It is difficult to observe trends when it is impossible to tell when these developments are unfolding. I am wondering if there is some automated publishing feed that keeps pushing content out there. This also is related to a disturbing modus operandus on you tube when you try to view current news like today on a topic and it serves you an old video on that topic, which might be the most recent story but if I am interested in an approaching hurricane I don’t want to view undated reports from months ago.

Sorry, but the midroll ads every 5 minutes (literally!) make this show unlistenable.
