It's odd, though, that Rogan's podcast only started doing mid-episode ads after the move to Spotify. Prior to the move the only ads were at the beginning of the episode.

Maybe analytics indicated that people were skipping the first chunk of the show to avoid the ads. I know that is a common feature of other podcast players.

Maybe that's one of the benefits of having a podcast on Spotify. They can probably collect fine-grained analytics compared to an RSS-based client.

It is really weird actually. Not every episode comes with adds. Seems like Spotify is dark launching ab testing

I've never heard ads on Rogan's podcast in the past few years, this might be a US only thing
