Unfortunately, that is SOP for talkers these days. I read an article that discussed weaving in the commercials as part of your commentary as standard practice. I've heard other talkers do the same thing.
Radio took a step down the evolutionary ladder that day. If one is aware, one can hear all kinds of people doing it.
But from the Great One who knows everything who always is right? The seer who is never wrong?
Maybe this is part of why my tolerance for talk radio has dropped so much and I listen to music (interert) stations instead, compared to even 10 years ago.
