I've been following Small Beans "Coen Brothers Brothers" and using it as an excuse to finally get around to watching the films. Just watched Barton Fink and WOW. Like… go watch this people

I've been listening to a lot less podcasts and reading a lot more books recently. I figure it's due to the increased presence of advertising in Podcasts; like I actually have an ethical problem with adverts.

Dystopian future: books / stories are centralised via Amazon who will interrupt your reading every x pages or y minutes to show you an ad.

All I'm asking for is a mobile app which funnels podcasts, adds a layer of community-contributed metadata which marks up ads, and lets me skip them automatically.

Has anyone started a Podcast called "Pop-Cultural Marxism" yet? Missed opportunity there.

I mean, I know every Middle-Class White Liberal Dude has a Podcast "analysing pop culture in a humorous way" but surely we can start appropriating that machinery?

AntennaPod implementing a "skip intro" feature for podcasts has disproportionately benefited my wellbeing. Podcasts are becoming an ad-infested hell-hole.

Does anyone else remember when podcasts used to have nice little adverts for like pillows and mattresses? I feel that that now all podcast ads are for… other podcasts‽ And they all sound really rubbish.
