Ive got the Spotify premium subscription and want to be able to play specific podcast episodes via my smartwatch so I need a way to get the audio in a simple format, it doesn't have to be high quality.

Are the podcasts exclusive to Spotify? If not have you tried any dedicated podcast apps?

I haven't. So is it typical of them to allow downloading audio files of their podcasts from their websites?

Podcasts are distributed via RSS. Use any RSS reader instead of Spotify.

How can I download them in a simple audio format suitable for a smartwatch?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Each episode in the RSS feed has an audio file (MP3, at least with the one I tested) linked. You can just download that.

Spotify exclusive podcasts are not distributed via RSS.
