Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts?

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.

I would love this too.

Right now I use Pocket Casts which lets you set a specific time to skip at the beginning or end of a podcast. Useful for static ads but not for the dynamic ones throughout the show.

I also use Pocket Casts ..and I just skip the ads manually. I set the skip forward time to 30 seconds and I set skip back to 10, makes it pretty easy to hop past them.

This is exactly what I do now. But skipping ahead and back is tough when I'm listening while cooking and have raw chicken on my hands.

Same, though I did 30s forward and 17s back. The asymmetric skip has been really helpful.
