Oh, too bad about Stephen West's podcast. I'm still working my way through the back episodes, and he seemed very proud of not needing advertising. I'm afraid I never did throw any money at that podcast -- I do have a ~$60/month Patreon bill for various other podcasts that are important to me. I have PocketCasts set up to skip a lot of preroll ads automatically, and I use its 30-second-skip feature extensively and semi-autonomously. I feel a little guilty about it, because I really appreciate how much content I listen to and I want them to get compensated for it. But if course I'm not gonna listen to ads if I don't have to.
