Huge issues with free feed episodes lately? Just me?

I've been having issues on Pocketcasts ever since Headgum started rolling out their new ads, and it's gotten worse over time? It feels like ads aren't being spliced in properly so they're messing up with the show and forcing it to skip or repeat parts?

I downloaded the Nightmare on Elm Street WLM on Pocketcasts today because I had just re-watched the movie last night and the episode was EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS long because it would resume at the wrong part after every commercial break. Completely unlistenable. Had to skip ten minutes just to get to the theme song.

Has this been happening to anyone else?
