The big podcast networks like iHeart are able to dynamically splice ads into episodes, so they can be targeted based on geoIP or whatever other signals they have on you.

I want a self hosted proxy for podcasts that strips the ads and compresses the audio stream harder before my phone downloads it.

I listen to a lot of Stuff You Should Know and haven’t noticed. TIL I’m exempt from their targeted ads too!
