I'm always mystified by those pre-roll podcast ads where the hosts of a show you've never heard of (which bears no similarity or connection to the show you are listening to) greet you as if you are meant to care who they are and then proceed to read out the ad.

#Just give me a generic radio ad #I'll ignore that too #but I promise I'm not more inclined to use Amazon because of the recommendation of Thingy and Whatsit from Shagged Married Annoyed #Like I get that it's a cheap way to produce an ad and it advertises another podcast as well as the product #But it always seems to be pitched at people with very different podcast listening habits to me #Any ad that's like 'Hi we're .... and .... from hit podcast .... And we're here to talk to you about ....' 🙄#It's always so patently obvious that they don't know how to advertise to fiction podcast listeners #because it hasn't really occurred to them that those exist #The empty man rambleth
