Fast forward!



I am never more grateful to have the little button that lets you skip 10 seconds on a piece of audio, than when I'm happily listening to a podcast with two excellent comedians talking about their favourite movies, and it suddenly has several minutes of advertisements for other podcasts that I will never, ever listen to.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was something even vaguely relevant to the original thing I'm listening to, but they're for shows that sound like the absolute worst shit in the world. Very serious true crimes bollocks by people with very serious voices. Screeching adolescent men talking about sports that mean nothing to me. Tedious political punditry that takes a very long time to say very much about very little.

I'm already listening to one of your shows, surely you have some idea of what I like, and I am always looking for new things. But not this, and that 10sec function is getting a heavy workout, until I hear the comedians cackling about Michael Mann again.
