@Willi again
Maybe Mr. Bachelor is feeling lonely and is trying to sell a piece of his own mattress!? ;-)

@Willi,
I bought one of those Casper engineered mattresses and it cured my back pain. Why are you complaining about it? :-)

Wayne, as long as the spectrum display is available making it relatively easy to spot and skip the ads, downloading the ‘.MP3’ files isn’t needed, IMHO.

Willi–
(totally sick of Casper, the Shave Club, Simply-Safe, anything related to buying Gold/Silver, and all the survival-food stuff.)

If you want to cut down on the inserted adverts, download the .mp3 files directly, skip the streaming, and (semi) take back control of your listening experience.
(There’s only 40 minutes of actual Show per broadcast hour, the other 20 minutes are adverts & news)

(right-click, save-target-as…listen to the file(s) at your leisure.)

They generally insert adverts at the beginning & end of blocks (which are easy to skip), but have increasingly been inserting them in the middle of blocks as well.

I’m afraid the days of acquiring totally clean (advert free) clips, from most everyone, is gone. Downloads & streaming are increasingly making up a substantial portion of the listening audience, and those listeners are especially coveted by advertiser’s.

Your report turns out to be well timed, given the events and news that have quickly followed it. But it would’ve been well timed at any time these days, because capitalism in space is breaking through more and more all the time. There’s only one way in this trend.

Spaceflight is transforming from creepy caterpillars protected by cocoons, to butterflies able to go anywhere.

Am I the only one tired of hearing the ad for the Casper mattress?

In reply to Willi. Willi: And why is that? Is there something wrong with the podcast during that 1:24? Or did you not like what was being said?

When the recording timer gets to 9:06, listeners may wish to skip to 10:30.
