Urgh: Ads during podcasts read out unconvincingly by the hosts of other podcasts you've never heard of, advertising products you're not interested in. Usually along the lines of:
"Hi, it's Milly and Tilly here from the 'Mummy Drinks Wine' podcast, and we wanted to let you know about a special offer from our sponsor, The Luxury Herbal Tea Subscription Company. We love their new range of energised teas which help us overcome life's daily challenges and ensure we maximise our lives to their full potential, organically.... For 5% off your first order..."
I used to find them funny as they obviously struggle to. read. the. PR-laden. scripts, but now they're just painful.
Thankfully most of the time you can skip them. It's just annoying when they spring up when you're driving or running and can't reach your phone.
Rant over.
