Non-Embedded Podcast Ads for Premium Users

[tinyjams]

Why am I getting non-embedded, non-host read ads when I listen to Last Podcast on the Left? This is a Spotify exclusive podcast now and I'm getting additional, skip-able ads even though I'm a premium user. The transitions to these ads are jarring and not read by the hosts. Its enough to make me stop listening all together. I'd understand this, and I understand the host-read ads embedded within the pod itself, but why am I getting additional ads as a premium user?
