    See also: podcast host says “here’s some ads” to avoid semi-automated ads from the parent company randomly happening in the middle of a sentence. Ads still appear randomly in the middle of a sentence.

      I’ve never heard an ad mid-sentence. Surely that’s an error on the podcasters side. Don’t they have to mark the timecodes for ad placements?

        Nah, they’re not gonna bully me away from listening to the Bad Hasbara podcast, to name one where it’s happened to me. I’ll just skip the ads in my player while silently cursing whomever put them there.
