Each podcast has a '...' which has a direct download link. Or, you can view the RSS source, find the podcast you want then chuck the URL in your browser and download it that way. eg. https://play.podtrac.com/npr-510317/npr.mc.tritondigital.com/NPR_510317/media/anon.npr-mp3/npr/sam/2017/08/20170821_sam_theonion.mp3 https://play.podtrac.com/npr-510317/npr.mc.tritondigital.com... In my browser gives me a player with a download link in it.
