They prefer not to use ads and gladly take donation but I think they hit a nice balance. My app of choice is Pocket Casts, works very well. Oh, I also used to be a fan of Linux Outlaws, they had a fan made foss app that integrated with Indenti.ca (foss twitter clone based on status.net), you could automagically chat using a hashtag unique to the current episode. That was a nice experience and worth using the app for.
