This is called advertising, and I pay to keep it off my feed.

They were paid to promote this podcast?

I assume the podcasts they like probably have more subscribers than them?

At least it's not the bleedin' Jordan Harbinger Show, who seems to advertise everywhere on how fabulous he is on other pods (or rather get the host to read it!), self praise isn't a recommendation!

Ha Jordan Harbinger ads are a secret pet peeve of mine. Apart from the fact that they jar and bore me, I can't explain what I hate about them to anyone else and no one I know listens to the same podcasts I do to get it themselves. I've heard the ads for his podcast hundreds of times and I still have no fucking idea what it's about, plus he seems anodyne as hell.

I have always referred to him as тАЬThe Harbinger of Death of ContentтАЭ in my head just because I was annoyed by all the ads. I have a problem.

It's funny I avoided listening to that podcast for years despite hearing tons of ads on multiple other shows. Actually I avoided it precisely because of the ads. I figured if it was was a good show, why the need advertise so aggressively?

Then one day I checked it out, I'm not sure why- and I realized that I already knew who Jordan was, and had listened to a previous podcast that he had run for years! For some reason I just thought it was a different host with the same name.

I actually like the host a lot, and there are some really interesting episodes.

So despite the annoying ads, I highly recommend checking out the podcast.
