The most jarring thing about BBC podcasts in the US is that they're all lumbered with horrific, chirpy American-style advertising, and man, that is some stupid, ridiculous crap. The last thing I want to hear as a lead-in to a series piece about the goat problem in Guadaloupe or the some obscure poet writing about footbridges is some goofy ad for dopes trying to amuse me by talking about insurance company mascots.
