Am I the only one that doesn't care for podcasts?

I used to be annoyed by them, but I get it now. I started listening to them at work, it's pretty nice to find a highly researched audio only format so I can focus on my work and learn something I care about

Those already existed. They're audiobooks.

And audiobooks don't stop for ad breaks twice an hour and load up constant teases and recaps to bridge ad breaks and episodes.

You seem to only have listened to a certain kind of pkdcast. All podcasts I listen to are ad free but still have a high production value.
