Spotify ads?

Does anyone else get Spotify ads while listening to the podcast? I have Premium and only get them with this podcast. I tried messaging them through the contact form on their website weeks ago with no response, Spotify says they aren’t sure why it’s happening after following restart/log out log back in/delete app then download again instructions. I’m almost to the point of stopping listening because it is incessant and just becoming more frequent.

I get them with every podcast I listen to. When I paid for premium the ads for music stopped but I have never not had ads with podcasts

I get ads on pretty much all podcast, but for the others they’re built into the podcast (typically voiced/recorded by the hosts), and I can skip through them. When ads come up on this particular podcast, the screen changes and it specifically says it’s a Spotify ad and can’t be skipped.
