So every few minutes you hear "The Takeaway podcast is sponsored by Liberty Mutual Financial... nothing says Mutual Financial like Liberty!" It's like downloading the pledge-drive version of an NPR show. Any sponsor info should be at the top of the show, or maybe every 30 minutes, but not every five minutes... it's like the first podcast I've heard with aural pop-up ads.
