Is there a sponsor block situation for Podcasts? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Antennapod lets you customize how far your fast forward button skips ahead.

But every ad on every episode of every podcast can be different. Right now with pocket cast, I skip ahead 30 seconds at a time then go back 10 seconds. But I'd rather automate it

Saaaame. Only thing I can think of is a server to download the podcasts, then some kind of ML/AI/LLM chicanery to transcribe, ID and timestamp the sponsor segments? Then chop it out with ffmpeg?

Edit: looks like Podgrab can download the files, the rest might be doable with a bit of scripting.

You can also set for each podcasts a skip intro and outro time.

Hm! I look forward to trying Antennapod or pocketcasts since Gpodcasts is getting the Google Funeral treatment. :( Thanks for the likely superior alternatives.
