Thanks! That example you mention is usually for a couple of reasons - the podcaster is adding their own dynamic ads and haven't set a timestamp that makes for a natural break, or their hosting company/ad partner is inserting dynamic ads automatically, so they can go anywhere and even break up speakers mid-sentence.
To make things smoother and more organic, if you're adding yourself then add a marker during the editing process where it makes sense to place the piece of dynamic content. This could be at the end of a specific segment of conversation, where the next part of conversation is a new topic, so the break is perfect.
Others often use a little piece of music/sound prior to a dynamic pierce of content starting, so listeners know an ad is about to be played.
The more effort a podcaster puts into placement of mid-rolls, the less intrusive and more enjoyable it is for listeners. :)
