Galen, you really need to figure out a private, ad-free feed for subscribers. It was bad enough when you were just advertising the pod itself (but still silly because you were advertising to people who already subscribed) but now you’ve started to get actual sponsors and are doing normal ad reads. $8/mo is pretty hefty for a podcast and getting ad-free content is table stakes for this price point. If ads continue on the subscriber feed, I will really have to reconsider subscribing. Removing ads is the first advertising point of literally every other podcast membership I have.

I was so chuffed when you answered my question! hahaha. I love listening and contributing to this podcast.
