I’ve listened to Mr. Nightmare for years and the stories are still entertaining, but the ad experience on Apple Podcasts has gotten out of control. The ads are massively louder than the narration — we’re talking a jump from a quiet whisper to full-blast commercial in an instant. They also show up in the middle of sentences and mid-story, completely breaking the atmosphere.
I understand needing ads, but the placement and volume here feel totally unmanaged. If the audio were normalized and the ad slots placed between stories instead of randomly in the middle of them, this would be a five-star podcast again. As it stands, the volume mismatch is so extreme that it’s frustrating to listen to with headphones.
Great narrator, good stories, but the ad mixing needs attention.
