I appreciate that there was some effort made. I must have missed the early verbal warning. I do tend to fast-forward to get into the content.
@Josh Dorkin & @Brandon Turner, call me a Karen for making a stink if you want, but I feel this tears down some of what you guys have spent 400 episodes to establish. You regularly discussed family values, faith, spirituality, and now introduce content directly antithetical to what's been built.
If another podcast regularly contained offensive content, I would simply stop listening. Warning people doesn't make the actual content more acceptable. I like BP because it's generally clean and safe. Maybe the unrestricted "weekend" content could be segregated to an "unrated" playlist if it's that important to make swearing a core component of BP episodes.
For context: Here's how I consume your content: I use Google Podcasts, set to automatically download episodes of subscribed podcasts so I can listen whenever. I listen at 2.5-3x speed, episodes back to back. So I never look at descriptions, I just hit Play.
@Kevin Leahy Nevertheless, here's a screenshot from Google Podcasts that shows zero visual warning for offensive content:
