As someone who aggressively adblocks everything, one of the final places that ads can still reach me is in annoying ad reads within podcasts. Youtube sponsorblock is incredible but it seems no one has yet adapted this for podcasts. Has anyone else managed to find a solution here? As far as i can tell in my googleing, this doesn't yet exist. Anyone else extremely interested in something that skips/removes sponsor segments from podcasts?

As someone who setup his own nas over the pandemic I really like this approach. Needed a time intensive project to stay sane and I keep finding more useful things it can do.

Another thought I’ve had, plex has a skip intro feature. This works by scanning the audio from multiple episodes and showing the skip button when available. Maybe something like that could build up an ad library of the most obnoxious repetitive podcast ads and work across different podcasts. It wouldn’t work for unique self reads though.

I wish I had the technical knowledge to build something like this but I done even know where to begin.

Yeah, AntennaPod already has an auto skip config that I use to skip the first or last N seconds. Which I've configured. But it's not technically always 30 seconds or 120 seconds. And that doesn't help with mid episode ads.
