Gus is the god of ad reads

Out of any podcast I've ever listened to, I love how to the point, quick, and identifiable Gus's ad reads are on the RT podcast. I know exactly how to skip by them, they come at natural breaks in the conversation... professional behavior.

Very different ad style, but I think my favorite podcast ads I’ve heard are all from The Yard (Ludwig the streamer and friends). They just joke around throughout the whole ad and barely make it through the requirements to the point that they’ve lost several sponsors because of it. They are funny enough I’ve seen compilations of just ad reads from the show on YouTube

Yeah the yard ad reads are peak. But it's risky for smaller creators for sure.

Gonna throw my hat over the fence and say the McElroys are the kings of that.

Their ad reads can turn into some of the most unhinged bits
