1. Go to your account page and navigate to the podcasts section. (Make sure you’re signed in.)

2. Click the “Set Up” button next to the podcast you’d like to listen to without ads.

3. If you’re on your phone, just tap the logo for your favorite podcast player and follow your prompts to subscribe.

4. Repeat these steps for the other podcasts you want to listen to without ads.

5. You can unsubscribe from the regular, ad-supported feed — you’ll now get your episodes ad-free through your private feed.
