As someone who aggressively adblocks everything, one of the final places that ads can still reach me is in annoying ad reads within podcasts. Youtube sponsorblock is incredible but it seems no one has yet adapted this for podcasts. Has anyone else managed to find a solution here? As far as i can tell in my googleing, this doesn’t yet exist. Anyone else extremely interested in something that skips/removes sponsor segments from podcasts?

IHeartradio is the worst. I have dropped off listening to podcasts I otherwise really like. Behind the bastards, anything Robert Evans does really. The ads are too bad.

I really hate them and would drop them in a hot min if it wasn’t that SYSK is like the best bedtime podcast in the world.

Nothing says relaxing bedtime podcast like loud obnoxious ads.

Behind the bastards makes it more bearable because they really take the piss out of the ads every time.

They’re lucky their content is high quality because god damn the pre-roll and inline ads are always absolute fucking garbage. I know the show host doesn’t control what ads the network uses, but they’ve literlly had USA military recruiting ads on their show, which is peak irony.

I’ve set my podcast player to skip the first X seconds to get past the pre-roll, and my finger is trained to skip-forward through the ads, but some automated system would make life a lot easier (and listening to Behind the Bastards more enjoyable).

Behind the Bastards has an ad free subscription now (on Apple Podcasts only but soon for Android apparently). Look up “Cooler Zone Media.”

That’s good to hear! I’m not on iOS but I’ll keep an eye out for the Android solution.
