If this is actually the narrator of the radio show, I strongly recommend you begin your next podcast with your personal narration, and work the advertisement for your show in later. I nearly gave up on it as it appeared to be nothing more than an ad at first. Starting with your actual voice and views would have made my first exposure to your work much easier.
I note that others seem to have not made it past the ad.
Give it thought at least.
Yes I am the content creator. It is a 30 second commercial in the beginning followed by my entrance theme. I don't ask for donations and I am trying to make a living off of my show so I can do it more often as I do work a normal job to support myself. The ONE ad is to help pay bills. I am sorry if it annoyed you.
I didn't say it annoyed me. Your assumptions do however.
What I did say was that starting with your own narration, and working the ad in later would prevent the problem that @lucylin was kept from listening by. I doubt his experience was singular, and suspect a lot of people that first are hit by the ad when seeking your work assume as he did that it was nothing more than advertising.
You should read more carefully, and think more clearly. Flagging me for making a recommendation, assuming I was against your monetizing your content, and failing to note that I didn't flag your post are all evidence that I have wasted my time on someone incapable of improving over what they are presently doing.
That gives me a sad.
