My Question or Issue

So, I started listening to the "Casefile" podcast today and noticed in the beginning and end are ads. These aren't "normal" ads, they are just like third-party ads in every other podcast.

The weird thing is, they are in German. In an English podcast. And I can't think of a reason why the podcast creator would put ads in different languages in his podcast. What's up with that? Can one serve different versions of podcasts to different countries?

Hello @cire901, 

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community!

Some podcast creators may include third-party advertising, host-read endorsements or sponsorship messages in their episodes.

The ads might also be in a different language than the podcast. For more details make sure to take a look at this Spotify Answer. 

I hope you'll find this info helpful!
