Accessing TWiT Content While Using Ad Blockers

At TWiT, we've always respected you, our audience, and our privacy policy reflects it. Over the years, we’ve adapted and expanded as other podcasts have come and gone. We continue to look at ways to understand audience needs while increasing our worth to advertisers.

In 2020, we began working with the analytics and attribution firms Chartable and Podsights while teaming up with Megaphone for dynamically inserted ads. In 2023, we started working with Podscribe. However, the domains from these companies are sometimes added to ad blocker lists and this would sometimes prevent you from listening to or viewing our podcasts.

To continue providing podcasts free to you, ad tech and dynamically inserted ads are necessary tools for TWiT. We respectfully ask that you include the following domains to ad blocker approved lists:

  • twit.tv (our main site that you're reading now)
  • cachefly.net (our host for most of our podcast media)
  • libsyn.com (Libsyn also hosts some of our audio content)
  • pdst.fm (Spotify Ad Analytics, formerly Podsights)
  • pscrb.fm (Podscribe)
  • memberfulcontent.com (Memberful - hosts for our Club TWiT feeds)

These services won't interfere with your listening or viewing experience and we do not track any personally identifiable listener information.

At this time, we no longer use Chartable (chtbl.com) nor Megaphone (megaphone.fm) and their domains have been removed from all episodes in our archives.  Their domains can be removed from your allow list if you wish, but some other popular podcasts from other networks do still use these services which are now both owned by Spotify.

We briefly tested Magellan AI (mgln.ai) in May 2023, but decided not to move forward with the service at this time.  Some popular podcasts on other networks may currently use the service.

We also very briefly tested Barometric (trkn.us) in early 2020, but the Barometric service no longer exists and can safely be removed from your allow list.
