Cancelled Subscription
I subscribed To Fresh Air so that I didn’t have to wait to listen to current episodes and not have listen to ads. But now ads for other NPR shows are breaking into Fresh Air’s podcast. So I unsubscribed. Ads are ads, and I’m not going to pay to have to listen to them.
Great show, but poorly edited as podcast
I was very excited to have access to Fresh Air as a podcast since I'm usually working when the show airs. The interviews are great, but the editing has been disappointing. Segment changes are choppy and episodes often end mid-sentence. The Ken Burns segment of March 15 was a particular disappointment, ending less than 10 minutes into the episode. I love the show! I just hope the editing improves.
Unsubscribing for two reasons
The same as another listener- Ads are Ads- I’m tired of the Fresh Air Interruptions AND the idea that you THOUGHT you could push them on us bc they are “WITHIN the context of Fresh Air” - insulting .
The second reason is I find very few relevant and interesting topics any more. Its a shame, you used to be my go to favorite podcast. The guests AND topics- dull.
