    Those already existed. They’re audiobooks.

    And audiobooks don’t stop for ad breaks twice an hour and load up constant teases and recaps to bridge ad breaks and episodes.

      unfortunately I can’t listen to audiobooks at work. I also prefer the length of podcasts for variety’s sake while working. I listen to audiobooks regularly as well, and know that listening to the same speaker for several hours causes me to tune it out rather than absorb it.

      You seem to only have listened to a certain kind of pkdcast. All podcasts I listen to are ad free but still have a high production value.

        I’ve tried my share, including by people who have written actual books.

        It’s a bad format.

        It’s not just the ads. The structure is built around the ads and they’re worse for it.
