Podcasts I listen to often feel pretty disconnected from the ads. Some do auto injection and may not know all (or any) of the ads that any given user hears. And folks cannot be experts in everything. TWIT network does appear to try to vet their ads, even criticizing former sponsors for lax security once things come to light. Yet even they still promote Molecule and other pseudo-sci junk. On the whole I think the best are listener supported shows. But I'm biased as I now work for a company that helps podcasters sell ad-free and premium access.
