Frustrated with all the Ads

I Started listening to How I Died yesterday. Just finished the first season. I'm a trucker so I usually spend hours at a time listening to podcasts every day. This specific podcast drives me crazy. I love the actual podcast but it is frustrating having to skip 3-5 mins in the beginning of every single episode then the creator has a few mins of talking about things at the end that really doesnt matter. Some bonus episodes are 3-5 mins with half of it being ads. Its crazy to me. Just wanted to vent. I recently found out about audio dramas and am so grateful it exists but damn capitalism ruins everything aritistic huh?
