This really addresses my question directly. Thank you. It makes a lot of sense.
I wonder if this ad insertion happens for downloading directly from RSS feeds as well. Typically, there is a link in the RSS feed directly to an .mp3 file, and I don't know if it would be possible to set the RSS link to a URL which would custom "build" a new mp3 for each download with dynamic ads injected. Is it just the case that some podcasts do not have "public" RSS feeds? I don't know if i've come across any...
- zachwlewis 3y agoIf downloaded from the podcast host, it'll always insert ads. To answer your original question, I threw together a python script that takes an RSS feed and downloads all the podcasts in that feed. https://gist.github.com/zachwlewis/7ad4182e21768dae98cabd17b1185a68 https://gist.github.com/zachwlewis/7ad4182e21768dae98cabd17b... Hope that helps!
