Since I am new to the app, I wanted to try it before considering purchasing the ad-free premium version. However, the pop up ads kill the podcast I'm listening to. I have to manually kill the ad and re-continue my podcast which is not ideal when listening on the road. If Spotify thinks that constantly interrupting my podcasts with ads is going to endear me to the idea of purchasing the premium version, they may want to rethink. Not only is it putting me off, but I'm considering uninstalling.
