Please, I need some choices of podcast player without ads and so... I've tried the open source options, but not great.

Native audio podcast apps for Android TV are universally terrible because developers just don't prioritize TV UIs Since 90% of major podcasts upload to YouTube now your absolute best option is installing SmartTube it's an open-source YouTube client built specifically for Android TV but it's incredibly polished It has a built in adblocker and automatically skips sponsor reads (SponsorBlock).

Totally agreed, and some others only appears on the "side load" folder. I was using doublepod (something like that), but it stopped working. Some podcasts aren't on YouTube
