Howdy folks,
Let me start by saying I have enjoyed the majority of Something to Wrestle With Bruce Prichard episodes that I have listened to over the years. However, this morning I get on the old cross trainer and fire up the WrestleMania X8 episode and holy crap!!! I am not joking when I say that out of the first 20 minutes of the show, 15 of that had to be them schilling their various products! I get that they have to do this to keep the show going, but the ratio of ads to content feels like it has gotten completely out of hand.
Currently, I listen to it via the Podbean app, but I have heard you can pay for it and it gets rid of the adds. Do any of you think it is worth the money to do this? Sometimes they will be plugging something and then you get another five minutes of them talking about the product when the show comes back on, are these types of segments also taken out of the paid for version?
I love the show, but when I have to keep pressing the fast forward button all the time to skip adds, it becomes more of a chore than it is worth.

They plug their ad-free shows network all the time…

I listen on Spotify. I actually don’t have many STWW shows that I haven’t listened to already.
Spotify’s 15 second skip button gets me through ads in no time. Ads do annoy me but not enough to pay extra.

I gave up on all conrads podcasts long ago because theyre too filled with Ads, and I dont care enough about them to pay for them.

Nothing annoys me more than when Conrad tries to correct Bruce about the name of the show and Bruce insists on calling it "Something to Wrestle With" instead of "Something to Wrestle".
I get that it would be too wordy to call it "Something with which to Wrestle" but the way Bruce goes out of his way to intentionally say it in the most arse-backwards, grammatically dreadful way possible really pisses me off.

If you hate podcast ads, just wait till you hear of this little invention called the TV. You should see how many ads they have during what they call tv "shows". Gotta pay the bills some way.

Through written transcript so you don’t actually have to listen to their awful voices.
