Show HN: Podads – An Ad Blocker for Your Podcasts

https://podads.yet-to-be.com/

Transcribe the audio (passing it in at 2x speed) via whisper, use a cheap LLM to identify the ad snippets, and then take it out!

Have been using for the past couple days - it's not perfect but I've enjoyed using it.

Feel free to add your episodes!

It’s very cool but I am a little bit worried about depriving creators of a revenue stream.

I hate ads as much as the next person, but unlike the web which is unusable without an ad blocker, podcasts (to me at least) are still on the right side of content/ads ratio, and the ads themselves aren’t too obnoxious.

When that changes I’ll be using this tool!
