Do you guys have any control over the ads that run after the podcast?
I got the Fungicure ‘talking crotch’ ad, give that one a listen sometime.
I often get an ad from WestJet to fly to Nashville.

Shark week, jumps the shark… Its the joke I wanted to make all week as well.
I don’t think I want to hear that ad. That’s interesting though, because it confirms what I started wondering a couple of days ago: there’s some mechanism that inserts different ads for different subscribers. What made me think this was that this past week I’ve been hearing Hoosier Lottery ads- which don’t interest me, but would probably confuse people in 49 states who may not even know what a Hoosier is. :)
Yes, I live in Calgary.
Interesting- I listen via itunes. Is that what you use? It seems like they use your IP to stick in custom ads. If someone had asked me 2 weeks ago, I’d have assumed everyone heard identical podcasts.
PS: Don’t know if Greg Corombus will see this, but sharks are fish.
When he said they aren’t, I expect he was thinking of dolphins.

No, I just listen via the website. Clicking on the links here. I dont like ITunes (or Apple in general) I prefer not to use their services if I can help it.
