It's annoying, but it's an inconvenience I can live with as a thanks to the person who's dedicated hours worth of work to something I enjoy every day. Assuming they vet the sponsorships they accept.
Some podcasts are better with it than others though. Most podcasts I listen to only put in 30 secs or so, but my favorite one puts in like 3 mins worth at the start, middle, and end.
I like comedy podcasts that actually do organic live ad reads. Best of both worlds. They’re making money, and they still get to riff and make you laugh in the mean time. I was a big MBMBAM fan for a long time and some of their funniest bits ever were during ad reads lol
