I need to download-Spotify podcasts to MP3 on my Win 11
Don't use online tool. Go and with a desktop app instead. SpotifyBee is quite good at this and I am using it on my Windows 11 without any problem. You can check the step by step guide here:

Downloading Spotify podcasts to MP3 files for offline listening outside the Spotify app isn't officially supported by Spotify, due to licensing and copyright restrictions. However, if you're seeking a practical, straightforward way to record or save the episodes while maintaining decent audio quality.
You can use audio recording software to capture the playback of Spotify podcasts directly on your Windows 11 PC. This method records the audio as you listen, preserving quality and allowing you to save as MP3.
