I realize I'm just one person and so I don't matter to anyone ever, and I'll deal with it if I have to since I do love this site and all, but as a subscriber I'm a bit disappointed to be getting ads after that being one of the biggest and most consistent promises since the introduction of the subscription model.

Let's do this.

THERE WAS AN AD AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PODCAST!

I'm all right with this.

Who was that at the end of the ad? It sounded like Ryan and it really freaked me out.

@jeff: Thanks Jeff! I'm glad to hear that!

Edited by Brenderous

I'm really enjoying how the bombcast descriptions of late have been sounding like synopses for episodes of Mad Men.

Edited by DeadeyeMcCoy

Who else could make an ad such a joy to listen to?

Edited by Fat_Tomato

Not "beaver butt"?

Posted by bkbroiler

4 years or whatever it is with no ads is a pretty good run. I'm going to listen to the ad version because I hear it's entertaining!

Posted by CrossTheAtlantic

Ugh, 20 seconds of an ad in my nearly 3 hour podcast?

(Glad you guys are finally makin some pape from this thing. Need to resubscribe.)

I really dislike ads on podcasts, but if it's only a short one at the start it might be okay...

Sounded like Drew.

Just that one 15 seconds at the beginning of a 2 hour 45 minute FREE podcast? I really don't see how anyone could possibly justify complaining.

If it means some money for the crew from all the hours of entertainment then I'm all for it.

Ads?!

Posted by TournamentOfHate

We'll be with you guys until the end of time.

Posted by Fistfulofmetal

Hey adblock totally blocked the ad! The first 20 seconds of the podcast were silent!

Posted by GalacticPunt

Oh shit, Radio Gerstmann reading an ad! Your podcast is bigtime like Marc Maron's now.

Let me just pay for the site with a premium membership ;_;

Looks like there are a couple of more but it's not a big deal imo. I'll still listen to this version.

There will be a premium version of the podcast, so no promises broken.

Posted by KainCarver

Although no-one will ever replace Ryan, Drew has been a great addition to the podcasts and i'm enjoying his brand of humour immensely.

For anyone who didn't notice, subscribers can listen to the ad-free version.

Not sure why you'd want to though, Radio Jeff is great.

Brad is right as usual. Neck hang for those sunglasses. Yet another reason to eschew the neck beard.

That changes everything! Never listening again!

But seriously, every podcast I listen to has ads (mostly for square space it seems) and right now I can't afford a membership so them making additional revenue from the podcast makes me feel like less of a moocher.
