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.

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.
