No apology necessary! Many of these are still ending up on lists that may or may not get listened to one day :)
I'm looking to avoid doing that and avoid ad-driven shows in general, hence the original question. I have a few that I tolerate it on, but largely looking to avoid it where possible.
Well dang, that's unfortunate.
Some of this is right in my wheelhouse. Thanks for the recs!
I assume the first one was a typo and you meant Cryptid Factor? Seems like a really cool show, but unfortunately opens straight up with ads. First one was for 1-800-Flowers and then on to one for Rocket Money.
I've listened to this one before! Pretty interesting show, but unfortunately opens with several minutes of ads. Latest episode is about two and a half minutes of ads right off the bad, although one is their Patreon.
Unfortunately not a thing on RSS, and I try to spend little time on YouTube. Thanks though!
Any corporate sponsored advertising. Platform, sponsorship, whatever.
The ads on their RSS feed seem to be auto generated and inserted. Lots of shows use that kind of service.
Oh wow I didn't realize it was so simple. I couple just slap that into a bash script and save the effort of going through a website...maybe even use it for bulk processing when I get lots of recommendations.
Thanks for this clarification. Certainly something to be aware of and pay attention to, but a little less instantly alarming than the OP title.
A friend of mine has been slowly working through Farscape with me and Stargate is on our short list for what to watch next. I'll definitely be pushing for it even harder now, got the first three episodes of the podcast loaded up and ready to go lol
Interesting, guess they started running ads recently. I wonder if they'll begin injecting them into older shows eventually, I know some hosts offer that as a service.
