Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Idk what do you listen to, but when I listen to hour long podcast, I don't care about 30 seconds sponsor. That's not helpful, I know.

That’s a pretty reasonable ad load. Have you listened to 99% Invisible lately? Each episode is about 10 minutes long, and it seems like at least 50% of it is now ads and sponsorship stuff.

Doesn't sound like a worthwhile podcast then.

It was one of the earlier podcasts to blow up huge. It used to be great.

Stitcher/SiriusXM has absolutely wrecked that podcast. I don't know if Roman knew what he was getting into when he sold, but I've either lost a lot of faith in his wisdom if he didn't or in his scruples if he did.
