The rules are simple:

- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Which adblockers work on Podcasts?
Pocket casts lets you set a custom skip of the beginning and end of each podcast. So this American life is 20 seconds skip at the beginning but 99PI is 70 seconds beginning and 30 seconds end.
I really wish the sponsor block DB also did podcasts. Almost certainly pocket casts would add support for it if it did.

Get those Raycons!
on spotify i just hit the skip 15 button like 6 times anytime i hear their outro music. then if i hear ads still i hit again until i don't hear ads.
Antennapod let's you program the skip buttons up to 60 seconds, which is a delight.
Use pocket casts or antennapod*. Huge qol increase.
If you're hearing the outro, why not just go to the next thing?
And if that's limited because Spotify sucks (I have never used it), then get a podcast app that's not cancer. You don't even need a subscription for those (unless they're exclusive or something, in which case your taste is objectively bad, so have fun dealing with that).
I meant outro as the "going into commercial" bit. Sorry for the confusion, not sure what that's supposed to be called. When it gets to the end I do move on to the next one.
I've never even heard of a commercial outro, but I'm guessing it's just a podcast version of a TV show doing "well be back after these messages" kind of thing. I don't know what that's called either, but I know what you mean now. Thanks for the clarification.
I only listen to 2 podcasts for now. One doesn't really do any ads (except for mentioning the podcast network they're a part of, and sometimes the annual convention the network has, but so far nothing commercial I've noticed), and the other does have some ad breaks, but there isn't any warning for when it's coming. But in that case I've developed the 90 second skip strategy too. Or I would, but I do most of my podcasts while driving, so it's unfortunately not a priority. I have a button on the steering wheel that works, and sometimes I can make use of it, but usually I'm paying attention to the road more than focusing on skipping the ad while making sure not to skip part of the show.

I remember hearing Burr's ad the same morning he released the podcast, I was commuting an hour to work thanks to a blizzard the previous day and that dude lifted my spirits that day with this gem and his genuine improvised Monday Morning podcast feeling like he was sitting in my truck next to me complaining the whole time
It’s beautiful when he shits on the copy or even better, wonders out loud why the fuck anyone would use the product.
Happy birthday! I got you a Henson razor and a manscaped kit!
I was going to get younRaycon earbuds but I remember I got you those last year.
Casper? All my pods talk about helix
Oh man it's been a while since I've heard sharis berry's haha
I just fucking died listening to that again.
Me undies. Do they still exist?
Lol bill ragging on shari's berries was great. Made it much more memorable
FYI i switched from blue apron to hello fresh and am happier. shop around even if an ad convinces you to try something.
Even if it is in jest, that's a block.
The only thing I’ve tried that’s advertised on stuff I listen to or watch is BOLLORRRB VEE PEE ENN. It has honestly been excellent. I don’t want to use Proton (though I’m pretty sure it’s the best) because I don’t want my VPN and E-mail services to be the same thing. Mullvad sounds great but no port forwarding. Been torrenting Linux IOS every day for years and never had an issue with BLLORRRB.
