If the ads are baked in, just hit the 15s jump button a couple of times until you get back into the podcast. The ones I listen to usually play music during the ads, so when I hear the music is over I know I'm back in the podcast.
Sorry, didn't realize you were referring to promos that Spotify runs for their content. Yeah I guess they don't have a way to turn that off, but it's a simple button to get past.
Also, fast forwarding really is not a big deal. While I'm out walking my dog and kiddo I just tap my ear buds twice and it fast forwards 15 seconds past the baked in ads in the podcast.
I listen to things in my car a lot where the only forward button on that interface is a skip to the next episode button. I'd have to pull out my phone and open the app on my phone to find the skip forward 15s button.
