Hey! So I have a premium account and these ads is ruining the whole experience with listening to pods. How do I turn them off?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I pay for my subscription. Every month since 2015. The main reason I am a paid-for subscriber with Spotify is so I don't have to hear NEVER any kind of ads.
Dear Spotify, I am a Premium member. You made a promise to me that if I became a Premium member, I wouldn’t hear ads. I’m hearing ads on podcasts. Please, fix it!
Hi, Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove ads from podcasts even if you have premium. The injection of ads is something that is left to the individual podcasts hosts.

I agree. Sadly these kind of services is beginning slowly to be greedy. A paid sub is not enough anymore.
See Netflix. Now they talk about the cheapest paid membership to have ads and that you have to pay even more to get rid of ads.
Soon I'm going to say hi again to PirateBay sadly...
While I agree with both of you guys that this can be frustrating, unfortunately, this is a decision made by the individual podcasts hosts/publishers and not a decision that Spotify has direct control over.
I have been having ads that ARE seperate from the podcast. They have their own clips, and it even says "advertisement from ---". These are not embedded into the show, they are seperate. I had three seperate advertisements that played before my show started. I pay for premium, and I have for years.
What gives?
Yeah, no. It's not up to the individual hosts. The UK podcast I'm listening to just gave me an ad for the Canadian City of less than 100,000 people that I live in.
It's just lies to hide the fact that they wrote in the fine print that an extremely popular section of the app was exempt somehow from an "ad free experience." They know they can double dip by playing ads to Premium customers because they accepted the terms and conditions.
As long as Spotify isn't giving them any money from my premium subscription, I'm alright with this. Are these getting paid for my view along with the revenue from my advertisements?
EXACTLY ! I listen to Joe Rogan experience sometimes and I'll check my phone and the add is and isolated audio file. It plays just as if a song came on. It has it's own title and playtime and when it's done it returns to my 120min audio file.
