I’m happy to adopt a new podcast app if it has sponsorblock natively or through a plug-in. Otherwise let me know if there’s some other way to make it work. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work as all of the segments tagged for skipping are crowdsourced which would also work for Podcasts.
I suppose the solution would be having people tag a soundbite at the beginning and at the end of each ad slot. Then when the app “hears”, the beginning soundbite it can just skip forward until it finds the ending one.
