Making Progress

My Chinese listening abilities have greatly improved - had reached a plateau - now increasing!

Ok info. Ads are ridiculous

First off, I like the info and topics but the information is light and not immediately applicable. In addition, there are too many ads that are too long. For example, if you fast forward to 5 or more minutes into the podcast, you won’t mis any important information and miss all the intro ads!
