About
SkipCast is the podcast player that skips the ads for you. SKIP ADS, AUTOMATICALLY SkipCast listens to your episodes right on your device and seeks past the ad breaks, leaving more of the show you came for. Choose how it works for each podcast: - By Speaker: SkipCast learns who's on the show and skips the ad reads. Optionally mark your favorite hosts and it skips everyone else too. - Music Beds: most shows introduce sponsor reads with music. SkipCast finds those sections and jumps past them.
