It depends. Podcast syndication services like PocketCast and Apple Podcasts now programmatically splice in ads into the audio files. You could be listening to some podcast from years ago and it would have ads for [present-day-thing]. Sometimes even in the middle of a sentence, because these dynamic ads can't event detect silent segments.
