Unfortunately not a thing on RSS, and I try to spend little time on YouTube. Thanks though!

Any corporate sponsored advertising. Platform, sponsorship, whatever.

The ads on their RSS feed seem to be auto generated and inserted. Lots of shows use that kind of service.

Gaaaaah look at that face! ♥️

Oh wow I didn’t realize it was so simple. I couple just slap that into a bash script and save the effort of going through a website…maybe even use it for bulk processing when I get lots of recommendations.

Thanks for this clarification. Certainly something to be aware of and pay attention to, but a little less instantly alarming than the OP title.

A friend of mine has been slowly working through Farscape with me and Stargate is on our short list for what to watch next. I’ll definitely be pushing for it even harder now, got the first three episodes of the podcast loaded up and ready to go lol

Oh they will, I use a website that yanks the feeds. Having them all in one list like that makes it easier for me to parse through them though.

If you ever need to yank the RSS from a show then I have lots of success with: https://www.labnol.org/podcast. It’s specifically for just this kind of thing. Weirdly a lot of shows, even on their own websites, don’t make RSS feeds readily available.

I bought a new TV last year after my Hisense kicked the bucket and had a similar experience.

Not sure if it applies to your situation, but I just factory reset my TV, never enabled wifi, and hooked up a smart device I had lying around (Nvidia Shield). Now it all works great and if the smart functions upset me I can throw just the smart TV part in the trash and go back to my VCR.

That’s quite the pile of political shows! I’ll dig through them and pick out the ones that hook me. Thanks for taking the time to link them all, makes it easier to use an online took to yank out the RSS feeds for subscription.

Went to listen to a bit of this one and was instantly hit with ads for the NFL and other stuff. Maybe you’re on their Patreon feed or something?

Sounds engaging! Also going onto the ever growing list.

I am indeed! My show is a retro gaming show. Def adding this one, thanks!

I’ve been looking for a good excuse to dig into Stargate anyway, so that’s perfect.

Oooh that does sound nice. Thanks for the rec, on the list of goes!

Thanks!

I have what doctors call “dumb ears” and have zero musical ability. But I’m going to listen anyway, no one can stop me!

Oh yeah I listened to a bunch of them, it was definitely very good. Pre and post ads are probably the most bearable sort, but I’m trying to avoid them altogether if possible. But for anyone with more tolerance than me: absolutely also recommend this one.

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

Sounds fun, adding it to the list! My own show just hit 500, so I know how tough it is to stick to it week after week, kudos to them for making it so far.
