If the podcast is on YouTube you can use Pinchflat to remove ads (assuming it’s been mapped on SponsorBlock). I’ve had hit and miss results but some being ad-free is better than none.
Comment on Podcast automation?

There’s this guy that I’ve had my eye on but personally tried and failed to get set up on my machine: github.com/jdrbc/podly_pure_podcasts

Thanks for the recommendation, will give that a further look.
I have played with Pinchflat as mentioned by another poster. I’ve found that some of the ones that aren’t on YouTube, you can use AudioBookShelf or similar in conjunction with a vpn set to a non core country for the podcast, you can either remove or at least greatly reduce the ad inserts.
Have an experiment with that, I use a gluetun docker and link my ABS docker to that.
