Antennapod is essentially an MP3 player app for Android which downloads the MP3 files it finds in podcast feeds. If the MP3 file contains ads, those will be played (but you can skip them). If there are no ads in the file, there are no ads.
I think it supports Android Auto.
Spotify does not really have podcasts, in the technical sense. Spotify simply decided to usurp the word, but use it for "internet on-demand streaming radio show gated with accounts and DRM" rather than "downloadable audio file discovered via RSS feed file".
In any case, Antennapod is free, as is almost the entire regular podcast universe.
Thanks! I always download my podcasts while on Wi-Fi anyway because we're on Google Fi. This way, our phone bill for two is usually under $60/month since we don't use much data.
Since it's free, there's no reason for me to not try it out!
