Just curious what are the top 3 podcasts you listened to this year on whatever platform. Antennapod released a feature that summarized your year and well the amount of hours kinda surprised me in a good way, haha.

Edit: Mine were

  • The let’s read podcast
  • Therapy gecko
  • How To Survive

AntennaPod doesn’t have any in-app ads, but the podcasts you listen to will still have them.

Thanks! That makes sense. I’m sure I’ll still experience the same amount of ads, but can still skip them then.

I wonder if something like sponsor block is feasible for podcasts 🤔

Ads in podcasts are dynamically inserted right when you download them, or while you’re streaming, so I don’t think that’s possible. Not everyone is going to get the same ad. It’ll give you an ad depending on your location sometimes.

I’ve definitely had both. Sometimes the hosts of the actual podcast read an ad using their own voices. In this case everyone gets the same audio file and crowdsourcing the timestamps would work.

For dynamically inserted ads, it will be more complicated. Maybe a system like content id that has a library of known ads and detects them in the audio.
