Why does premium duo have ads during podcasts, when regular premium didn't?

[#1]

I recently added my husband and upgraded to duo. Now when we listen to podcasts, there are a ton of ads. We have logged out and back in multiple time to try and resync the app, but that only worked with music.

Hi there!

While Spotify doesn’t play ads that interrupt the music listening experience of Premium subscribers, some podcasts may include advertising, host-read endorsements, or sponsorship messages that are handled by the podcasters themselves.

Hope this clears things up.

Take care.
