I set up Overcast (legit app btw, if you’re on iOS) to use skip track forward as fast forward 60s and skip track back to rewind 15s. The only ads that gently caress me up are the ones that Robert records.

I don’t get the ones Robert records outside of the US, we just get a lot of Ad Council & iHeart adverts.

He’s got uh mattresses and I think LifeLock (dumbass Norton AV offshoot for ID theft). There’s probably more but hell if I’m listening to ads willingly. Fake edit: Mattresses might be Dollop, idk.

Yeah, I used to only get the generic ones for eons even in the US but lately I've been getting a bunch of local election ads so iHeart must've finally got some harvested data about me.

I will eat poo poo in whatever video game I happen to be playing if the alternative is listening to a loving iHeart or BetterHelloFresh ad, and only the convenient controls on my car's steering wheel keep me from doing the same on the interstate.

I use a VPN, but I just use Chicago as my cover, so I get interesting ads for local live theatre performances in Chicago. Of course weirdo podcast listeners would be interested in jumped up musical dinner theatre.

In Australia all I get 2 types of ad: 1. A targeted ad for Australians about a new movie, a university or a bank. These are always read by the same lady, no matter what is being spruiked. 2. An ad for another podcast. Either the one about the loud autistic lady or a show hosted by a literal teen.

Advertising a podcast seems tough. I subscribe to a ridiculous number of them, I am a podcast guy ( ), but I have never in my life heard an ad for a podcast that made me want to listen to it.

I have, exactly once, checked out a podcast based on the Ad, and it was because the actual premise of the show was unique enough for me to see if it was any good. But generally the quality of the host and material is more important to me than the specific premise, and an ad can't convey that well.

My favorite podcast ads are the one where two people come on, say how they are good friends with a great chemistry that they just had to bring to a podcast, and now they are going to talk culture, politics, pop culture, Hollywood, and whatever else comes up. And then they laugh and end the ad without ever giving me a reason to care unless i already knew them or liked their voices I have heard an infinite amount of boring dude podcasts like that, but there have been a lot more of those with two women in the past few years, especially who bonded over true crime, and now, the ones i hear the most are targeting a minority group Did i say favorite, i mean i fuckin hate those ads

That's the closest I can think of I used to not know what to make of Jamie Loftus. I got that she was talented, but I couldn’t figure out her schtick. I looked up her work history and stuff and I’m now fairly certain she’s doing an Andy Kaufman on Gamer Gate Chuds. Or she’s not and I’m a cringey rear end in a top hat. Either way, I’ve grown to enjoy her appearances.
