    Wait what. I know some platforms for managing podcasts like Anchor shove in ads, sometimes even mid sentence, but this is the first I hear of Spotify itself inserting them

      This is what made a lot of people I know stop using Spotify for podcasts.

      My coworker told me they were listening to a podcast, and while the podcasts host were mid ad read for their sponsor, Spotify put an ad in. So he got an ad during an ad.

      Yeah even on free I never got a Spotify add on a podcast. Those were the podcasts themselves putting ads in.
