But if you are going to be traveling, or in a situation where you know the Internet will be poor, then you might be trying to download files to listen to offline.

More Information on How to Download a Podcast Episode in Spotify on an iPhone
Podcast episode downloads aren’t very large files, but they can add up quickly if you download a lot of them. If your iPhone is low on space then you may need to delete some apps or pictures to increase your available storage space. You can delete a downloaded podcast episode by going to the Your Library tab, selecting the Downloaded button at the top of the screen (you might need to swipe left to get to it) then selecting the episode. You can then tap the three dots under the episode and choose the Remove download option. Note that you can also delete a downloaded episode by pressing the three dots button under that episode in the podcast show page and tapping Remove download there as well.
