Hey listeners, we're dropping this quick announcement to let you know that there's an industry-wide issue with political ads making their way through podcasters exclusion blocks.

We have strict exclusion set for our show, which should filter out all political ads.

But during this election cycle, political action groups have been purposely mislabeling their

programmatic ads in order to just sneak them through.

Advertising platforms don't know either until listeners report that it's happened and

we've been told that it's happening most often in swing states.

In fact, this just happened to us on both of our podcasts and luckily

listeners let us know. Our platform is attempting to address this issue, but we were told that it will be an

ongoing problem. So please, if you hear a political ad, be aware that we did not approve it, and that we do have people who are

listening to flag that issue for us and work so that we can quickly get them

removed. Thank you so much.
