Is there any Podcast players that autoskip ads? - eviltoast

5 minute ad breaks every 15 minutes kinda ruin the experience.

    Huh, TIL that is how the ads worked with Podcasts… Does it transcode the audio file?

    It is funny to have Spanish ads while I listen to English podcasts lol (native language is Spanish).

      Obviously, the live read ads by the podcast hosts will still be there, but yep, the other ads are all usually targeted ones inserted when you download it. Once it’s downloaded, you can change your VPN back to wherever so you don’t have to deal with every site defaulting to Thai or Japanese lol.

      This works better than the “skip x seconds” idea others have since some podcasts have mid-show ads, too.
