I hate ad and meta content on highly produced podcasts like 99% Invisible. They waste at least 2-3 minutes at the beginning and end on credits and ads, plus additional ad time in the middle. I already skip past it, it'd prefer if it was skipped automatically.

The same goes for public media beg-a-thons. We get it, you want people to donate. Don't waste 30 min of our time begging.
