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?

Walk The Pod is a daily-ish ramble chat on various topics. It only has a Patreon plug (https://walkthepod.com/)

Total Party Kill is a D&D actual play podcast that I have yet to hear an ad on. (https://www.theincomparable.com/tpk/)

Your Rivers Are Wrong is a podcast about storytelling. No ads here either. (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/yraw-podcast)
