Im usually on a Swiss vpn and i know that atleast the uk podcast , Ukraine the latest, get the ads removed.

What i have found is that if i use my vpn when downloading , some countries dont have active ads for the podcasts i listen to so it just downloads without. All i hear is a fade out and 3 sec silence and then fades back to the show

Young Ejecta - Ride Lonesome has been my favorite for this month.
