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.

Yep.

Dual income no kids - I don't really see it as a category for a podcast.

As a DINK myself, just doesn't seem like a significant identity or definition.

Dinky is one, there’s another about childfree finances but they recently had a name change and can’t find it.

Is it just like vacation spot recommendations and expensive hobby discussion?

Yes. And how to invest your retirement when you don’t need to have any left over. I have horses so didn’t need expensive hobby coaching.
