I've the same issue.

As a workarround (unitl the issue is solved) you can put the podcast into a playlist and download the playlist. That works fine

Fenix 7X Pro affected as well

Same issue with Fenix 6

Same issue, Garmin sapphire 6s. Interestingly the playlist issue works with more than one podcast. I added two episodes to my playlist, the download was stuck at 99% and when I cancelled the download the first episode had downloaded correctly. 

Same problem with my forerunner 955

 

Seen on the Garmin support center :

 

"Some podcasts that you listen to using the Spotify app on your phone or computer may not be visible on your Garmin watch for download. This is due to some podcasts not being housed on internal Spotify servers due to their file size. For this reason, these podcasts may not be visible for download or display an "Unable to get content" message on the watch when trying to download the full podcast or a specific episode."

Same problem on fenix 5 plus

Hello from Spain, 

Same problem with my forerunner 245 music.

When trying to download podcast for Spotify, there is a message “no se puede obtener el contenido “ (not possible to get the content)

Same problem. Garmin forerunner 245 music

Same here. Fenix 6x solar

Same issue on my fenix 6x pro solar. I’ve found I can get around it by putting a podcast episode in a playlist and downloading that playlist. 

Same, Fenix 7s

Same Problem with my Epix2

Same problem. Fenix 6 Pro

Same problem with my forerunner 245 music. It was working perfectly until recently. It’s really annoying as I only listen to podcasts while running.
