Podcast ads are dynamically injected at the time of downloading by the podcast host, based on factors such as the IP of the device downloading, and whatever other fingerprinting it can figure out at the time of download. You can see it in action by enabling a VPN through a country far away and notice the ads switching language.
AntennaPod is not adding its own ads (it’s non-commercial, after all) and is not doing anything to help advertisers in their ad targeting.
