If you ever get the feeling that many podcasts run to a formula, you're not alone.

On Twitter, Alex Sujong Laughlin posted a bingo card featuring all the podcasting clichés you've heard when listening to an episode.

From that Squarespace ad, to the endless suggestions of "have you heard of Reply All," to the jangly banjo music that opens up a program -- you've likely come across these at some point.

But there's a few missing tiles, as people spotted on Twitter.

Now you'll be noticing all these tics, of sorts, the next time you listen to your podcast. Wherever you get your podcasts from.
