Sounding like a broken record or not..... This has been a huge irritant to me recently. I download the podcasts from my 24/7 subscription. Each hour is approximately 36 to 37 minutes. The third hour has about 15 minutes worth of content because Rush puts all the Carbonite, Heritage Foundation, Lifelock, BG (?) car products, Hillsdale College (and on certain holidays-- flowers, candy-covered cherries) commercials! I truly feel betrayed having spent the money to avoid these ads. If he keeps accepting sponsors, the content portion will be less than 50% of the show.
Rush is the best thing going, for sure....but he needs to settle down a little in the ad department.
I agree, I listen to the show with head phones and take them off every time he does an ad, then I forget to put them back on and miss half the other half of the show that isn’t an advertisement.
Rush is a businessman doing his best to make obscene profits (his words). His advertisers pay him a lot more money if he is able to pitch their products in the course of discussing the current events of the day.
Of course, if you were a businessman, "profits" wouldn't be your first consideration, would they? /s
