Too many ads, frequently freezes

Along with the ads that are already in the podcast, Stitcher puts a high-volume 30 second ad in front of every podcast you listen to. The same ad, for months. Additionally it frequently freezes and loses your place in the podcast if you switch from Stitcher to anything else on your phone.
