I wanted to listen to the Otherworld podcast, but the first thing I hear is an ad localized for my IP-region. My instant reaction to those is to immediately hit pause and stop listening. I looked at their patreon and it has less posts than there are episodes, so I assume you can't even get ad free episodes from there.

Is there some way to filter ads out of podcasts, or a site that has feeds for podcasts with the ads cut out?

    if you can vpn to a market that they don't sell ads in maybe it would just not inject anything? or at least you'd get some default non-localize thing

      Coincidentally, on that same thread (and yes BTW)

      One recommendation is to put your vpn endpoint in a country you don’t speak the language of. You will still hear them but they wont be effective.
