I would not be surprised if Spotify themselves get the audio from the source via RSS/Atom.

No doubt the podcast creator may have to create an account and tell Spotify manually (and also on Apple, Google, etc), but once the feed is in their system the creators/producers just need to update things in one place and all the 'distribution points' get the new episode.
