Never heard of them. Just did quick lookup. Satire? Mock? Sarcasm?

It’s a good podcast about a fictional town somewhere in the West where very weird things go on. But their “word from our sponsors” sounds like what you wrote. An example:

We all want to live forever, right? Wrong. Think about watching your family die as you selfishly carry on, your children aging and passing, your grandchildren, and so on. Think of all the friends you’ll make, and eventually lose. You don’t want that. No!

You know the earth is eventually going to be swallowed by the sun, right? And one day, you would be present for this greatest of all apocalypses. As fascinating as this would be, scientifically speaking, this excitement would fade as the pain of thousand-degree flames engulfed your tender body, and your agèd mind would be so alone in this interminable torture. Does this sound like something you want? We didn’t think so. Immortality is stupid. Think before you wish.
