      Just download the podcast from the source. Ads are injected by 3rd parties.

        Not necessarily. A lot of podcasts are hosted by places that detect your ip and splice in location-targeted ads for each individual download. Hence OP’s struggle with timestamps.

        Even off of Spotify etc, the source is poisoned.
