The trailer for it with the Trump impersonation is so offputting I have stopped listening and dive for the skip button any time it shows up in another podmasters podcast

Yes. Because you append it to every other show on the network and it gives me the ick, especially fi I'm cycling and can't hit skip. Make a fresh trailer per episode without a Trump voice and I might start playing Friction again.
There is an alt trailer. I can't help but think you perhaps didn't enjoy the podcast very much in the first place if "the ick" would put you off it to that extent? which is also fine - the adverts a joke - there are plenty of worse ads in the world I'm sure!
It wasn't a funny joke to begin with - Dead Ringers did Trump gloating to death years ago. I know you kind of rely on repetitive ads being annoying to get subs, but this isn't a 3rd party one, it's you directly hurting your brand, And I don't think subscribing turns off your cross-promos.
Gotta love the classics! Didn't claim it was a great joke, but it still was one. American Friction tries to be a listen which is not entirely serious, while covering serious stuff in depth as we need to. If you decide to listen, let me know what you think!
