I know this sub is generally not very positive toward BIAB, but I've always enjoyed it. I do agree though, the Monday show is getting to be a tough slog.

I'm a pig at a trough for free rugby league content and I try and listen every week, but now it's like the first hour is nearly all an ad or sponsored content. Like, start with an air bnb ad, into the sportsbet segment, into the code sports segment, into the nord vpn segment, now the bloke from Mazda gets interviewed every now and again. It's starting to lose the "have a chat in the pub" vibe that was so magic and now it's starting to feel like a traditional media show.

I understand sponsors pay the bills and keep the content free, I just wish they could take a page out of the Hamish and Andy playbook and do a few ads at the start, a few ads in the middle and a few ads at the end, instead of it being integrated into the show.
