Listened since the beginning and while sad for Kate to go I am loving the new energy and Elise! Hope you are all feeling reinvigorated too! (Kate included!)

Used to love this pod but I guess that when they don’t get what they want, but what over half of America DOES want, they just can’t do life. It’s all moping and whining. Like grow up. You have kids. What a terrible example.

I am a huge podcast fan, my phone only has podcasts and 1gb of music, so I really rely on podcasts for entertainment. I really like the content of this podcast, but the ad section really took away from the show. I am all about having ads to make money, but the ad section made me forget what the hosts were even talking about. I kept thinking they were going back to the show, but it was another ad. Unfortunately I think it has deterred me from continuing to listen, but I hope they find a solution because I see I am not the only one that has been bothered by it.

Wow, the episode from 10/23/2024 had FIFTEEN MINUTES worth of ads. And it was a Mini-Ep! 🙄 28 minutes of actual podcast content, but 43 minutes total with ads. 🤯 I do think Elise is a huge upgrade from Kate. Earlier review: Pro-tip: You can tell how many minutes of each episode are ad content by looking at the run times both before and after you start playing an episode. For example, it will display “43 minutes” before hitting play, then jumps up to like 56 minutes after it starts playing. Please cut down on ad time by just doing a straight ad read, not adding conversational embellishment to every single ad. I get that they want to be engaging with the ads, it those who don’t want to listen aren’t going to listen to an ad just because it’s conversational. Their conversations are slow enough as it is. Please respect your listeners’ time. Also, I pay for other podcasts, but $10 a month is on the high end! 😬
