Friend of the Pod's Terminally Online and other rants

I used to listen to TO all the time since becoming Friend of the Pod subscriber (really since it first came out), but I just looked at Spotify and it looks like I haven't listened to any of them since last summer. I tried listening to a random one this weekend and now I remember why I stopped: they sort of remind me of when someone shows you a boring video that they like for some reason and you have to pretend to be into it, too. I feel that some of the people who guest on this particular pod have very niche interests that are just not my cup of tea. I really wish they would rethink this podcast and do something totally different. I like Only Friends and Pollercoatser (the other two subscriber-only pods), but find it annoying to still get the 'please consider subscribing to Friends of the Pod' at PSA... I *do* subscribe so I don't get any ads, so that kind of defeats the purpose for me!

I don't plan on renewing my subscription unless they either change some of the content/format or at least add Hysteria to the no-ads list. As it stands now, all the PSA interviews are a skip for me so I'm really not getting my money's worth content-wise.

Any other Friends of the Pod with similar views? I've tried to communicate this to the folks in charge via multiple surveys, but no dice.
