If you already monetize with Ambassador Ads or Automated Ads, you can earn even more money by offering Uninterrupted subscriptions to your most loyal fans at a monthly price point of your choice.
Fans who pay for an Uninterrupted subscription hear all your episodes without any Spotify for Podcasters-inserted ads - including episodes from your back catalog.
You can also publish subscription-only bonus episodes for your paying subscribers.
Note: Subscribers can only access your Uninterrupted episodes on Spotify.
