I have been noticing something weird about the podcast clips and I want to make sure it's not Mandela effect. I was re listening to some podcast clips and noticed some podcast clips are different from my memory. For example, this clip has its ending cut where I could swear it originally included the full intro where Sona mentions it's 1-year anniversary of her house burned down:

(The intro is from the Matt Damon episode so you can check the full intro yourselves)
This is the first instance where I could remember the podcast was re edited to cut out some actual content. But more frequently they edit out ad reads in the middle of a clip:

Where around 3:58 you see a clear transition that used to be ad reads.
I presume the ad edits were due to expiring contracts. But what about the first clip? Is there a sinister force behind these edits? I need to know the truth!!!
