Spotify has always included ads on podcasts because podcasts had already normalized that before Spotify took interest in them. As a result, they pivoted the value prop of Premium from “no ads” to “no ads on your _music_”.

I believe they dabbled in audiobooks recently... just wonder if those have ads as well?

The ones you pay for don't have ads
