My Prob: Every single weekday I'm listening to 6+ hours of a variety of my favorite podcasts, just getting shit done at work and enjoying whatever it is I'm listening to, but then over and over again, every 5 or 10 minutes, the stupid ad reads play and I'm unable to skip them because my phone is just outside of the area I'm working.

My Question: What watch could help me skip ads? Do I have to buy one with cell service in order to listen to the podcasts I've downloaded on my phone? Are there any watches that have an 8 hour charge on their battery? I've never had a smart watch before so please feel free to tell me any helpful things I should know or consider.

My Setup: I currently have an Android phone and pair it via Bluetooth to a Shokz headset to listen to downloaded podcasts. One last detail, whatever I'm listening to has to be downloaded because there is no Wi-Fi and using cell service would drain my phone battery even faster.

My Question: Is there any way to stop these ad reads without paying each podcast individually? If not, is/are there a device or devices I could use to be able to skip the ads other than my phone? Such as a smart watch or audio headset or earbuds?

My Setup: I do not have access to a computer for listening to media. I currently have an Android phone and pair it via Bluetooth to a Shokz headset to listen to downloaded podcasts. I prefer my Shokz headset because they keep my ear canals open which helps me hear everything around me as well.

My Job: I am a full-time housekeeper that cleans guest rooms and public spaces.

My Prob: Every single weekday I'm listening to 6 hours at least of a variety of my favorite podcasts, just getting shit done and enjoying whatever it is I'm listening to, but then over and over again, every 5 or 10 minutes, the stupid ad reads play and I'm unable to skip them because I'm in the middle of cleaning and thus I either can't touch my phone because my hands are dirty, or my phone is just outside of the area I'm working.

Are there any questions on the ballots today in the election for schools or infrastructure or taxes, etc, specifically? Such as yes or no votes? I'm in Jefferson County, but please feel free to share info for Berkeley as well.

Edit: I went to vote in Jefferson County and no questions at all were on the ballot.
