Apple Podcasts doesn't have a built-in feature to remove ads from podcasts because ads are typically part of the podcast episodes themselves, inserted by the content creators for monetization. Here are a few things you can do:

1. **Fast Forward**: You can manually skip through ads by fast-forwarding the podcast. This is the simplest and most straightforward method.

2. **Subscription**: Some podcast creators offer ad-free versions of their podcasts to subscribers or Patreon supporters. Check if the podcast you're listening to has this option.

3. **Ad-blocker Apps**: There are some third-party apps that claim to remove ads from podcasts. However, these may not be 100% effective and could potentially violate terms of service.

4. **Switch to a Paid Podcast Platform**: Some paid podcast platforms like Stitcher Premium, Luminary, or Wondery Plus offer ad-free listening for many podcasts.

Remember that ads are a way for free podcasts to generate revenue. If you find a podcast valuable, consider supporting the creators either by listening to the ads or by subscribing to their paid content if available.
