Herd is the podcast app built for listeners - not ads.
Enjoy a truly ad-free podcast experience. Herd uses advanced AI to automatically detect and skip host-read ads, dynamically inserted ads, and external advertisements, so you can spend more time listening to the content you love.
Whether you're listening to business, comedy, news, technology, or true crime podcasts, Herd makes every episode faster, cleaner, and distraction-free.
No manual skipping.
No sitting through ads.
Just great podcasts.
SMART AD SKIPPING
Herd automatically analyzes podcast episodes and identifies advertisements while you listen. Ads are skipped so you can stay focused on the conversation.
Our AI detects:

External advertisement segments
That means less skipping and more listening.
