it's an endless abyss. the intent is to trap you in the world of podcasts, so that you may never get out.

seriously though, i am listening to a lot of scifi audio drama and i really appreciate it when i learn about other series with related themes. so if there is one kind of ad that i don't mind it is that. i much prefer that over ads for vpns, mattresses or "cook your own meal" food deliveries.

Yeah; I'm a particularly big fan of the artist/voice actor bios that mention related podcasts.

Excuse me while I talk to my dial-a-therapist while chopping onions on my new tube-packed mattress.
