Hmm, at what point do all the trailers for other shows tip in to the advert category?
I wouldn't want to try counting how many times I heard a trailer about 13 Minutes to the Moon last year, which I'm picking on specifically because I actually enjoyed it to make the point that the bucket choice can be very subjective.
The Brexitcast doesn't have ads. The Infinite Monkey Cage has a 10-15seconds clip in the end where they promote other science-y podcasts (which I always fast-forward anyway).
I also listen to the weekly "SecurityNow", in which out of the 2h there should be at least 10-15mins where Leo reads out his ads. Leo also tries to push SpinRite, but since SR has saved many disks in my lifetime, I gladly listen to that bit (finally we'll have a faster performing version soon-ish).
I don't know. Katya pimps nail polish, and Adam pushes pastries disguised as tales of street meetings with prominent leaders. Either that or I'm getting the wrong message from brexitcast.
In all seriousness though. You've described excellent examples of what I was trying to get at: it isn't always obvious where to draw the line; useful promotions, acceptable [to the listener] ads, and the point where it becomes just too much.
Even on SecurityNow, majority of ads are irrelevant to me. But thanks to SN add I found out about CrashPlan, Lastpass, and some other useful services. I cannot remember the razor as that Leo used to have every-week-for-months (the one that was acquired by Gillette some months ago)(Harry's or something) it was boring and irrelevant for a cybersecurity audience, I guess they were aiming for the "males with money" attributes of the audience.
