Customer Reviews
Love but editing issues
Great pod, bite size mindfulness and just great.
BUT the editing has been off a few times lately where the pod will skip back to the middle of the episode.
Love the content, guest hosts, regular hosts.
Ads are becoming too much to deal with
The show itself is great, but the amount of time listening to ads makes it impossible to keep this as part of my daily routine. I’ve been naturally avoiding listening to the show, dreading it because of the ads. And it has fell off from being my daily practice instinctively even though I value the actual content of the show.
With the way things currently are, I will probably move on soon, a shame because I’ve listened to almost every episode since the show started, and I really would like to keep it as part of my morning.
Please consider something like adding a premium podcast channel linked to the headspace subscription like Apple News is, or an ad-free podcast channel that I can pay for separately. I pay for headspace, but prefer the Apple podcast player since it automatically works with HomePod and can ask it to play while I’m going through my morning routines.
Best Podcast! — Until the Ads
I can’t say enough good things about Headspace, and their podcast is no exception. Smart, thoughtful content that is well-produced. The length is perfect for my morning commute. It’s the only podcast I listen to regularly, multiple times a week. I’ve recommended it and the app many times.
Only recently they started running ads. Because of the short format, I feel like the ads are just as long as the show. But the worst part is some of the ads feature the hosts of the show peddling products and apps that feel salesy and insincere. Headspace has done a great job building high levels of trust with their meditation teachers and audience, and the ads compromised that for me.
I’ve used the Headspace app almost everyday for nearly ten years. As a subscriber to the app, I can get the podcasts ad-free in the app, but it’s a few extra steps, and I can’t access it alongside other podcasts I listen to.
I acknowledge the reality of financially sustaining a company like Headspace. Now that Apple offers subscriptions to bypass ads, I might consider paying a small price for no ads, in my normal podcast app—the content is that good.
But please don’t underestimate the credibility the hosts have with a very loyal audience—and how easily that’s lost by inauthentic ads selling inane products. For a company changing the world through mindfulness and meditation, it feels icky and self-serving.
