Just think about the amount of time the average human being could save in one year.

There is a shitload of unnecessary scenes that could be cut without losing anything of value.

    The problem from what I’ve read is most ads are inserted on demand in the stream when you first play/download a podcast and there’s no easy way for software to tell them apart, not to mention they’re usually location based which means the ads you get are likely different from what I get, and depending where you live you might not even get ads at all.

      I use antenna pod which is able to download as well, which seems to suggest that at some point the ads get fixed. Also they’re very consistent for me, enough that I can usually cut off the first 30 seconds of ads for certain podcasts (there’s a function to skip predefined sections).
