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 "Daily Feed" icon under the shows tab rather than the individual show subsection.
If you signed up for Slate Plus through Slate's iOS app...
If you want to access certain membership benefits outside of the iOS app, you’ll need to associate your iOS subscription with a member account on Slate’s website. To do that, follow the instructions here.
