In the past I've mainly used XFCE or openbox because of my old hardware. A couple years ago I picked a Debian+MATE image to install on a fresh box and have been using it by default since then.
None of that "touchscreen UI uber alles" BS.

No matter what plugin you find that supposedly will do the job, in my experience it is always a PITA that ends up involving a lot of programming.
I had a good experience with jekyll's wordpress->jekyll import tool. But see below.
I would go for a database-less static site generator like Hugo
Graybeard here, so it's probably just braindamage specific to me, but I've found ruby dependency setup and troubleshooting to be extremely frustrating. Hard for me to wrap my head around.
When jekyll is actually dead (right now it is "only mostly dead") I'll change to something that does not require ruby (eleventy?) or just go back to the nineties and do something barebones with gtml or whatever. Already playing with the latter.
If the ads for a feed are in a predictable position (like first two minutes, last minute, whatever) one can use sox or similar to trim the file at that point to effectively remove the ads.
But like some of the other commenters here, when the podcast is available by patreon I use that feed and avoid the whole problem.
I own and use a Microsoft Zune HD
Seems like a good enough reason to me!
I updated both my desktop and a headless server without issue.
The beauty of linux is you get to run whatever you prefer. Have fun and be productive in the way you like. :-)
