They only have a selection of all podcasts.

I once used their trial tool, to transcribe some episode. The functionality is good, but it is commercial. I wouldn't use it often enough to justify signing up.

So if there were some similar tool where I don't have to sign up to some paid service just to transcribe one episode here or there, that'd be neat.

Read of Whisper in the comments. I like that it doesn't appear to require some API keys to use their model. But I'd rather not install yet another Python package that likely comes with a whole bunch of new dependencies.

You can try my C/C++ port of Whisper:

No dependencies, no Python, runs efficiently on the CPU.

Thanks, does indeed look neat.
