What are some good ad-free podcasts?
-
Thanks for asking something I'd thought of asking but never gotten around to. Also, what's your podcast OP?
-
Haha, glad to be of service! I've already gotten several good recommendations that are syncing to my MP3 player as we speak.
I run a retro gaming podcast, you can find us here: https://retrowarriors.net/
Or just directly subscribe via RSS here: http://retrowarriors.libsyn.com/rss -
Blowback is incredible, and has ads only at the beginning and end, so very skippable. I can't recommend Blowback enough.
-
Oh yeah I listened to a bunch of them, it was definitely very good. Pre and post ads are probably the most bearable sort, but I'm trying to avoid them altogether if possible. But for anyone with more tolerance than me: absolutely also recommend this one.
-
A retro gaming podcast is actually probably more my style than the other two podcasts listed. So, have another subscriber...

If you’re into game dev or retro games in general, Dev Game Club is a small podcast where the hosts play old games and discuss their design + influence on games that would come later. I don’t think they even have a patreon lol
-
I am indeed! My show is a retro gaming show. Def adding this one, thanks!

Went to listen to a bit of this one and was instantly hit with ads for the NFL and other stuff. Maybe you're on their Patreon feed or something?
-
That's quite the pile of political shows! I'll dig through them and pick out the ones that hook me. Thanks for taking the time to link them all, makes it easier to use on online took to yank out the RSS feeds for subscription.

I’m not sure those links will render RSS feeds. I just pulled them from my Apple Podcasts app. None of them are exclusive to Apple, though, so if you’re not in the Apple ecosystem you can still find them.

- The Cryptic Factor
- The Modern Mann (very few ads)

Interesting! You extract the ID from the link (e.g. the
1258545975from https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/citations-needed/id1258545975) and then:$ curl -s 'https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1258545975' | jq -r '.results.[0].feedUrl' https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/rss $ -
Oh wow I didn't realize it was so simple. I couple just slap that into a bash script and save the effort of going through a website...maybe even use it for bulk processing when I get lots of recommendations.
-
I mostly listen to them on Youtube.
Do you mean normal ads from the platform, or ads which are presented by the show host? (Think LTT style)
-
Any corporate sponsored advertising. Platform, sponsorship, whatever.
The ads on their RSS feed seem to be auto generated and inserted. Lots of shows use that kind of service.

#!/bin/sh # Get the original RSS feed URL from an Apple Podcast show URL. podcast="$1" id=$(echo "$podcast" | awk '{sub(/^.*\/id/, ""); print}') curl -s "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=%24%7Bid%7D" | jq -r '.results.[0].feedUrl' -
I use adblock so I do not notice the platorm ads, only the in-video ads.
