    I believe ads in podcasts are the doing of the folks making the podcast, not spotify.

      No, what GP means is that some podcasts have an ad break, and Spotify will inject ads relevant to your region/demographic, even if you pay for premium.

      This isn’t the host reading copy from their sponsors which, fair enough, would be hard to strip out in many cases.

        Yeah see I was under the impression that it’s still the show’s choice, like if you don’t have sponsor deals you can just let spotify inject ads and get paid for that instead.

          But we’re paying for no ads. Spotify could give them a slice of the premium money.

            That’s honestly a good idea, but I reckon they’d probably give em a real shit rate like they already do with artists.

            The thing that really gets my goat is getting a fucken full screen ad for some random mainstream new release.

              the full screen ads for irrelevent (to you) music is one of my biggest gripes. Spotify i’ve never listened to a Taylor Swift song in my life, i don’t give a shit if she has a new album and you know that!
