I absolutely love NTS, it’s one of my favorite podcasts and I look forward to Thursdays because of it. However lately the episodes seem more ad stuffed and the actual content of the episode is short and left unfinished. I understand that ads are necessary!!! I just think the execution/incorporation of ads needs to be re-evaluated and the length of episodes need to be longer to combat the amount of ads.

Love Peyton’s podcast. It feels like sitting down with a friend and is a place I turn to feel understood and less alone going through life things. Thank you for being you and doing this for your audience!

I love how you feel like you are in the room having a conversation with Payton. She has such a warm, uplifting energy and I look forward to her episodes every week. Great topics and great guests ❤️
Lucy M.P · Sep 2024
I am a big fan of Payton but for the love of god… no more reading off lists of products to buy!!! This is stale, boring, and I don’t believe that the rampant consumerism is in line with NTS’s values. I have honestly stopped listening because these episodes are way too frequent and I’m tired of being told new stuff I need to buy or beauty services I just HAVE to have. I think if you’re a pod that already has ad space, you have no business putting out episodes with even more product recs. I hope this makes sense and I don’t want it to be perceived as too critical or unkind. We are all just bored of the endless shilling of products and wondering if the space is just too saturated and podcasters have nothing left to say. Its lazy and unappealing. I will always love P and keep up with her elsewhere but I will not continue to listen if this doesn’t change. Tell me about books and music you like, tell me about a recipe you tried, but stop telling me about products!!!! PLEASE! I am unfollowing but open to coming back if there’s a change.

I’ve been a long-time listener of Payton and have always really enjoyed her content because of her relatability. She’s lost me now.. she claims to be inclusive, see all sides, and want to have open conversations about things… false. She goes with the grain. I’d love her to bring on a guest that has differing thoughts and opinions from her and have them have a true, honest debate on their beliefs. I’d love to hear her speak from facts and not emotions. Because the way I see it, she’s conformed to appease a specific audience. Bring back real girl content.
