Will I see or hear ads? How do I access ad-free shows and podcasts?

If you are a paid Bulwark+ member and are logged in on Substack, you should not. The only time you theoretically might hear an ad on the app is if you watch a live show as it is happening. (We edit out the ad and upload an ad-free version after, so if you want to completely avoid ads, wait until the event is over.)

If you use the free Substack or Bulwark app on your mobile devices, make sure you are signed in with the correct email address. Shows should be ad-free.

You can listen to subscriber-only podcasts on most regular podcast apps. Just click the SET UP link to add your unique Bulwark+ RSS feed to major podcast apps (Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, etc.). Make sure you are signed in with your paid account before you start. The only services that do not accept private RSS feeds are Amazon Music and iHeartRadio. Spotify is integrated with Substack and allows you to listen to paid episodes easily.
