How to delete ads from podcasts downloaded on Apple Podcasts

Recently the podcasts that I download on the Apple podcast app contain ads at the beginning of each of the podcasts that I download. Is there a paid Apple subscription or other way to remove the ads?


Thanks

Hi there Bruce!


Apple Podcasts only provides a way of streaming podcasts. This means that podcasts come with ads as a part of them, which is similar to watching a video with paid sponsorship. In most cases, you can skip adverts by simply seeking or pressing the "Skip 15s" button.

Some podcasts offer a paid subscription via Apple Podcasts which removes ads, but this may not be the case for all podcasts.


If you have any questions, don't hesitiate to reach out!

Have a great day!
