I'm happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there's some other way to make it work. I don't see why it wouldn't work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.

Idk everybody's situation, but I just listen like this and manually skip ads. My car has buttons on the steering wheel for forward and backward (if I skip back into the podcast). My earbuds skip forward and backward with double presses on the right and left earbud respectively. Listening otherwise, it's not that hard for me to grab my phone and skip through a few minutes of ads. Would it be better if it were automatic? Sure. But I'm much more annoyed by YouTube ads popping up every 3-7 minutes.

My ads only come on when it is the absolute worst situation to interact with my device.

Holding a basket of laundry???! Oh better play and ad.

Are your hands muddy from cleaning out a gutter? Better play an ad.

You handling raw chicken??? It is ad time!!!

Their are ways to avoid YouTube ads. YouTube is my favorite platform without ads.

Pushing buttons is too hard
