If you signed up for Slate Plus on the Slate website...
1. Go to the menu in the upper left corner of the app
2. Tap LOG IN / SIGN UP
3. If you are signed into the app, all content should be accessible and podcast will automatically play the ad-free Plus version in place of the regular one. If you are hearing ads and you are signed in, try locating the episode from the "Slate Plus Podcasts" icon under the shows tab rather than the individual show subsection.
