Sound Issues

This podcast allows advertisers to play ads at extremely high volumes. This is annoying, distracting and dangerous.

Great show but not updated since 6/30/23

Great info but for some reason it hasn’t been current since June 30th 2023

Too many commercials

Half of this podcast is commercials and a minute worth of music for what reason??

Excellent content

Love the content, have been a devoted listener for years. However, I rather dislike the non auto advertisements that have recently began to intrude into the podcast. It’s an automotive podcast, so listening to adds from Lear, Bridgestone, Hyundai etc are par for the course. I understand that it cost $$ to make the podcast and there has to be some sort of revenue. But to have to listen to adds for Old Navy and Sonic are very aggravating. In the past there were no external advertisements. About a year ago the external advertisements started showing up and it has been a struggle to listen to the podcast since that happened. In addition, every couple of months the podcast resets the “played” episodes back to 0 and there are hundreds of past episodes that now show as not played, even though I have faithfully listened to every episode. This issue seems to be related to the external advertisements. This podcast is worth the listen, just be prepared for the advertisements you have to endure to be able to hear the content.
