Wait there are ads even if you have a paid Spotify account? Ive still only listened to a couple on that platform so far. The fact that you can’t disable the video on the desktop app is annoying

Yes. They didn't at first but it's been rolling out. The ads are not built into the podcast, but are separate tracks. You can skip through them if you open your phone. They just cut in mid-sentence or mid-word wherever. I had a couple of problems today when it tried to play the ad and it would skip to the next podcast, and then lose my place in the one I was playing.

You can disable the video in the web browser. Syncing your spot between the web browser player and phone app is horrible.

Spotify has to be the worst podcast player I have ever used in the history of podcasts.

Yeah but Disney+ works good, and Spotify podcasts are extremely buggy. If Disney+ was a poo poo app it would be different. Everything is a matter of convenience.

I don't know that buggy UI would stop people flocking towards WANDAVISION though.

Dunno, I'm dropping HBO Max because the app barely functions on my Samsung smart TV. I know it works good on my Google TV Chromecast, but that's not plugged into my main TV so I never use it.

As far as Spotify, so far
1. It inserts jarring commercials mid sentence that you never had before
2. The commercial sometimes fails to load and it restarts the show from the beginning
3. The commercial successfully loads and it sometimes restarts the show from the beginning
4. Sometimes instead of restarting the show from the beginning, it switches to a different episode.
5. Loses its place between the phone app and the desktop web player.
6. Seems to be streaming an episode even though you downloaded it locally.
8. Sometimes it just pauses itself for no reason, repeatedly.
9. It's a loving disaster over Android auto in general. Sometimes it won't start unless you open the phone and dismiss an ad. Sometimes it won't start unless you force stop Spotify and restart the app. Sometimes it plays but doesn't send any data to the car screen.


These things don't happen every time, but they do sometimes, and it's not like Pocketcasts which just worked all the time with zero effort.

Joe, a self proclaimed liberal, is constantly spouting right wing fake news that he doesn't bother checking himself because he trusts and believes his right wing grifter guests.

I've come to understand through the podcast that comedy isn't just telling jokes to make people laugh, but is often times just simply stating the most racist things you can think of and being offended that people might not be interested in hearing that again.

I do like this podcast, but I'll never defend him or his dumbass opinions on vitamins and saunas making you covid-proof. Just listening over the last 8 months, he is so terrified of having a sore arm and MAYBE feeling a little tired from a normal immune response to a vaccine. Never seen anyone make such a big event over the potential for a minor inconvenience.

Several guests have told him this undeniable fact, yet he still goes on about myocarditis.




I also enjoyed earlier in the podcast

Joe: "what kind of North Korean prison is Australia right now?"
Zepps: "everything is fine and normal. It's only alt-right grifters making up that stuff"
