I agree. Painful to hear no listening doofuses laugh through it. Wasted time. If i listen to podcast I FF through it. If I listen live I will listen to something else for those 15 min 50% of the time. It’s too bad... the feedback I’ve received is that it has taken away the little spacebucks-filled incentive to catch the podcast and many people have stopped bothering. I’m still loyal but it changed the habits of many.
