Stop with the ads 2 minute ad is way too long for a 10 minute episode

I wanted this to be my background noise podcast (where I turn it on and half-listen while being productive) but unfortunately the host doesn’t have a podcast voice at all. Half of the time it feels like she’s monotone whining in my ear. The messages are good but aren’t ground breaking. It’s mostly regurgitated material from other podcasters. Lastly, it’s difficult to listen to her advice when the episodes have mispronunciations and misspeaking on topics that educated women should know. If she wants to be a more successful podcaster she needs two things: a voice coach and a production team.

I want to enjoy this podcast but the production needs to be stepped up and the content isn’t that engaging. It’s nothing ground breaking. It’s just kind of like listening to a friend talk. As many other reviews have stated AT LEAST a 1/3 of an episode will be ads. And in the episode I’m currently listening to the audio cuts in the middle of the sentence she’s speaking and it cuts directly into a VERY loud ad (voiced by her). Production seems like a work in progress with some bugs to work out, but saying “Let’s get into the bulk of the episode” nearly 18 minutes into a 30 minute episode is insane. Almost 20 minutes of intro and ads in a 30 minute episode. **UPDATE I realized she’s nearly 200 episodes in so I don’t understand why the ads and production value are still what they are.

Really strange choice to host a podcast. Her voice is terrible for audio. She needs a script to follow, I felt like I lost brain cells listening to 30min!
