Podcasts are actually typically primarily served by RSS, whatever podcast app you are using just indexes them and manages downloads. So typically you can go to the website of the podcast, e.g https://darknetdiaries.com/subscribe/ and if you scroll down on the subscribe page you’ll see a link to their rss feed. Just copy the link from the feed into whatever reader you use and you’ll be updated in your reader app when new episodes are released.
