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?
Yeah, this is an interesting subject. I’ve thought about how this would be best implemented myself. I love yt-dlp and sponsorblock apis, as the cli yt-dlp has a sponsorblock flag that trims out the sponsored content.
I’m sure podcasts are a bit more difficult to implement a similar strategy as the sponsored comment advertising model is different and more dynamic than yt, but it sounds like an interesting and challenging side project for anyone technically savvy enough and who also has enough time to do so might be inclined to try.
