Just today I had the lovely situation to get an ad break during two podcast episodes on Spotify mobile (Android).
Changing the track does work but the ad break stays. BUT I could fast forward the ad.

I pay fucking Family Prem. for that shit. WTF?!
@The Haters: No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.

Yeah, Spotify made that deal with podcasts. They wanted them on their platform so bad, that they fucked every single paying customer they have.

I have Spotify Premium Duo, and it's the same thing on podcasts.

I switched to AntennaPod for podcasts because of this. It's also just a better experience - it auto downloads new episodes and deletes them after playing.

Podcast Addict has been able to do this forever.

[-] Palindromes@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Absolute favorite podcast app! Highly recommend

I love Podcast Addict, but I don't think you can set the sort per podcast. I want my entertainment ones to be oldest->newest and the reverse for things like news.

[-] acid_falcon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You definitely can. Podcast Addict has per podcast override settings

I was about to comment this! I learned about that app from a few Lemmy users recommending it, and it's the real deal. Podcasts still generally have ads inserted in (which you can fast forward through), BUT I learned that you can set rules for your subscriptions which apply to each episode, like "skip the first 45s of each episode". Go to subscriptions, tap the settings gear wheel, and find auto skip!

Is there anything like this for iOS? I usually stick to Overcast but haven’t really looked into switch apps for a while.

[-] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Spotify doesn’t do that?? That’s like feature #0 on a podcast app

[-] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Spotify can be configured to auto download, but you need to open the app. To my knowledge it doesn't auto delete after listening, but when it reaches the 4th latest release it is deleted. Personally i prefer that they're not auto deleted after listening because i like to share some podcasts moments with my SO.

No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.

Just FYI, those two things don't need to be exclusive. In this case Spotify is probably the one sponsoring the podcast, and so they inserted ads themselves, as opposed to the content creators including their sponsor ads. Many more successful podcasts are doing this now, and it seems like the ads get shoved in when there sometimes aren't even breaks.

Not saying it doesn't suck, it absolutely does. Just pointing out that it's a new trend. So it'll probably get worse!

As this was the WAN show by LTT I doubt that. At least the sponsoring.

Yeah, unfortunately could just be (probably is) good ol' enshittification then. In this case at least.

Genuine question - why does anyone listen to podcasts on Spotify? There have been and still are a TON of quality podcast apps that are 100% free and don't do this bullshit. Like, I'm aware Spotify has podcasts but in my mind Spotify is music, podcast app is podcasts. It was that way for more than a decade. I just don't get it TBH.

[-] ginerel@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Probably they just want to use the same app they're using for listening to music. Although I also have them both. And I love AntennaPod more for podcasts, plus there's no tracking, and it's just a different experience overall.

[-] Lemonparty@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Seems weird to me in a day and age where switching apps is literally just a swipe of a finger. People will jump from Instagram to tik tok to texting to emailing to Whatsapp without thinking about it at all, but a podcast app is a hurdle they don't want to deal with. Even more bizarre because until very recently it was always like that, for the entire history of podcasts. It's a shame too because podcast apps are so intuitive these days. Listening to podcasts on Spotify feels clunky by comparison.

To each their own I guess, but I personally just don't understand it.
