I liked the MBMBAM ad that was like "at last, all the pieces are in place! 7 years of hiding subtle audio clues for the greatest treasure hunt of all time!

Mike and Ben from B&DN also have a podcast off-network with another comedian Henry Parker which is quite enojoyable: Three Bean Salad Now that I think about it, it's almost like a British MBMB&M in format. They're not brothers, but it's a 3-friends-riffing format with recurring segments (they activate the "Bean Machine" once per episode to generate a listener-selected topic, and there are jingles that must be played when certain topics invitably come up (crabs, America, flightless birds...))

I like the Baby Geniuses ads, but I love Lisa Hanawalt even though I haven't gotten into that podcast. the Tights and Fights ads are fun. I'm just getting into Beef and Dairy Network, but dude's voice and pacing are just charming as hell, so the ads are good. I skip all the others with malice aforethought

Three Bean Salad is consistently funny and a very good listen Back on topic, the Sawbones Omicron episode is extremely good

I skip over all podcast ads except for the Money Zone because that's borderline episode content and not just an ad break.

TAZ actually has the worst ads on the network imo. They pop up on Sawbones from time to time and they're just awful. I think the best one is the one where Travis says "I roll to charm new listeners, it's very effective!" They get worse from there

One thing I've noticed is that British podcasts tend to have professionally made adverts for actual products whereas American podcasts just get the hosts to read some copy for snake oil or whatever. Why don't American companies produce their own adverts and tell the podcast producer to edit them into an ad break? Does American radio have actual adverts? Because I think one difference is that British podcasts tend to be made by radio production companies and they just use the ads that the company would put on the radio.

Why don't American companies produce their own adverts and tell the podcast producer to edit them into an ad break? It's a major selling point for podcast advertising that the ad reads are done directly by the hosts that listeners have the parasocial relationship with. It's very easy to tune out or skip past a prepackaged mp3 of a total stranger that's just been spliced in.

That's something that is (was?) big on am/fm radio too. Having the hosts of the show read some ad copy at the end of a segment or even going live to do it during an ad break.

I don't care if the McElroys have to pay them, they should do more Extreme Restraints ads.

If we're talking about McElroys and ads I personally love how on The Besties Justin decides it's time for a 2 minute ad break 1 minute into the show.

My partner watches Majority Report and Sam Seder’s ad reads are the most listless poo poo i’ve seen in my life. podcasts are just bad like that

In theory, the Federal Trade Commission would have some oversight of some kind, but

There are a bunch of American podcasts that do this too and it usually sucks because they tend to be dynamically inserted so you'll sometimes get their ad breaks in the middle of a conversation.

There's at least one UK podcast I stopped listening to because the host clearly didn't give a gently caress where the Acast adverts went in as long as they did. Like, on at least one occasion I'm pretty sure it happened between a question and an answer - not in a cliffhanger way, just jammed into a live recording. I get people need to get paid but I just couldn't be bothered with it.

Because a lot of their edit involves just loving with each other, if you go back and listen to them now, you can tell who edited which episode by which person's sentence gets interrupted by an ad break that episode.

Has there ever been a podcast that was just a series of sketches/short ads? I know Earwolf tried an 8 minute long ad skit about a decade ago and that Beef and Dairy Network did the Slash Beef Carpet Ad episode. So "all sketch comedy ads" feels like something that might be tried.

Also if everyone in that video was all vaxxed that to me is fine but I guess everyone has their own view as to what's acceptable during all this.
