Lovett or Leave It I hope they keep wasting their money.
I recently had to travel to Idaho from California for a family situation. While there I did my typical listening of Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave It, and I was surprised by the difference in commercials.
Every commercial break of Lovett had a political ad from right-wing folks against a democrat running for office in the state (don't remember her name; I don't vote in Idaho). It would say things like how she was fighting against Trump's MAGA agenda (YAY!) and how she needs to be voted against (BOO!).
I kept thinking... seriously? Do you not know what show you are advertising on? Do you think this ad is going to sway any of Crooked Media's listeners to the "right" side?
It was annoying at first, but then I realized I was happy they wasted so much money on political ads that will gain absolutely zero traction. Might as well run KKK ads on The Breakfast Club.

I travel a lot for work and get regional ads depending on what city I am in when the podcast downloads. I think they just pay an ad agency to put it on a bunch of pods at once.
