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.
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.
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.
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!
Spotify doesn’t do that?? That’s like feature #0 on a podcast app
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.
Is there anything like this for iOS? I usually stick to Overcast but haven’t really looked into switch apps for a while.
