FWIW, iHeart Radio probably manages his ad runs. He likely has no say over which ads get run on his show, and as I understand, the podcast advertising market has slowed tremendously in 2026. Podcasting platforms can't be as picky as they used to be.
iHeart is so antiAI they added "Guaranteed Human" in the middle of every podcast they stream.
Does apple run additional ads on podcasts?
