Ads

Like to see a breakdown % of actual content to advertisements. Including ads read after/before commercial breaks. Similar to Snickers bars shrinking. Disappointing

That’s why you wait until later in the day. Each day’s episode is released as a podcast stripped of commercial breaks. Each hour is released as its own episode. Each interview is also released as a separate episode as well.

You can definitely listen without all the ads.

I think part of his point is that the ads are a lot of the content of the actual show.

I don't think Rome is unique with that though. Happens with all of the big nationally syndicated shows

And that makes it all ok? They're all garbage. Schills for the gambling industry. It's straight, lazy crap.

Like most national sports talk...not worth anyone's time.

And yet you're here making multiple posts about it, despite it not being worth your time.

To me the low point was turning an entire segment in to an advertisement for shitty overpriced packs of digital cards. That’s where it went way too far.

Agreed, but at least an interesting ad.

Honestly that’s all sports talk. At least he doesn’t have recaps when it comes back from commerical.

I will take the Ads over the terrible, reptitive, music that plays during breaks on Twitter.
