Ad-free podcasts are now officially available for Verge subscribers! There are a few steps to follow to set up ad-free feeds, so read on for instructions. 

If you’re not yet a Verge subscriber but would like access to ad-free listening, you can go here. Like with all other subscription perks, subscribers can manage and update their settings in their account preferences page at any time. 

Where can I listen to ad-free Verge podcasts? 

Ad-free listening will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Podcast Addict, Castbox, Downcast, Player FM, and Breaker. 

How do I opt into ad-free listening? 

On desktop or mobile: 

  1. Make sure your subscription is active and you’re logged in on theverge.com 
  2. Head to your account settings page: theverge.com/account/podcasts 
  3. Click “set up” next to the podcast you’d like to listen to without ads 
  4. Scan the QR code or click the podcast player logo for Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube Music. (You can also copy the link to manually add it to your podcast player.)
  5. Follow the prompts to subscribe and connect to your feed
  6. Enjoy! Your feed will appear under a new icon for you in your app library. Be sure to delete the regular version if you were previously subscribed, as all of your episodes will now come into the premium ad-free feed.
  7. Bonus step: hit that follow / subscribe / notifications button to hear about new Verge episodes first!

Note: You’ll need to complete these steps for each Verge show you’d like to listen to ad-free.
