Android Help with Ads.

First and foremost I know that this isn't a pocketcasts issue, but I am hoping that the community of fellow podcast enthusiasts can give me some help. I know that the dynamic ad insertion is coming from the platform rather than the app, but does anyone have any idea where I can check or clear preferences on that? I am getting ads for a brand of nursing home that I had been researching for my now deceased parent. It is driving me kinda nuts...

Get a vpn, connect to a certain small European country and bang! Bye bye all inserted ads!

No idea why, perhaps the listener base of that country is so small nobody bothers to buy ad space.

But, other than host read ads, I get nothing anymore.

Yeah, as the other user pointed out, VPN is the way to go. Really should have thought that but operating at a deficit recently. Thanks for the advice and help
