The ads might not track you, but you might be tracked when downloading the podcast and the included ads might be personalized. I've noticed that the ads in certain podcasts are completely different when downloaded from a different location while traveling.

This is correct. I received Illinois relevant messaging on political podcasts towards the last US primary election, and it remained when in other states while traveling.
