What are some good ad-free podcasts? (lemmy.ml)

So I've run my own show for just about ten years now. We've never had ads or sponsorships of any kind other than a Patreon plug at the very end.

When I go out into the world and listen to other podcasts I'm perpetually annoyed at the lengthy, frequent ad-breaks. I don't mind being reminded to engage or click on their link or go to a show's Ko-Fi page, but a two minute dollar shave club or AG1 ad is just too much. And, honestly, the amount of advertising dollars some shows take makes me question their integrity just a bit. I know it might be a bit old-fashioned to think that, but I can't help it.

What are you favorite sponsorship-free, ad-free podcasts?

Haha, glad to be of service! I've already gotten several good recommendations that are syncing to my MP3 player as we speak.

I run a retro gaming podcast, you can find us here: https://retrowarriors.net/

Or just directly subscribe via RSS here: http://retrowarriors.libsyn.com/rss

A retro gaming podcast is actually probably more my style than the other two podcasts listed. So, have another subscriber...
