> podcasts (something people are used to getting for free with few or no ads)

This is an inaccurate assumption is how. Podcasts are audio adverts with interesting segments haha.

Ok maybe not that bad, but it's nowhere near 'few or no ads'

I listen to about ~15 podcasts. All of them have maybe a single 1-2min plug at the beginning, and maybe another at the end. All of them are about 30min or more.

I'd definitely qualify the worst case of 28 out of 30 minutes being actual content to be "few or no ads".

Sure, it's obviously anecdotal. I still don't have any tangible example of podcasts being ad-ridden as a general rule...
