Anchor may, or may not provide the .mp3 link to you easily.
However, you can look at your RSS feed and determine it.
If you’d share your Anchor podcast here, I will show you how to find it specifically.
Otherwise, I googled for some info that would be helpful, and the following website will help explain how to find, and explain RSS Feeds in more detail:
https://reddicediaries.com/tutorial/how-to-find-the-rss-feed-of-an-anchor-podcast/
I searched the rss feed from the site listed above for .mp3, and one of the results was the following:
[audio src="https://anchor.fm/s/55de8b4/podcast/play/22526528/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2020-10-12%2F65b1d955-0d17-f416-c7d4-e001e66720b4.mp3" /]
If you enter this in a browser, for instance, you can play this .mp3.
That is a long link, to be sure.

Thank you for your response, I will surely share my RSS link, here is it:

Going through my RSS feed, I think 8 have gotten the trick. Here is the media file for the recent episode I just uploaded, check through if I am right?..

Ok Kudabo,
I opened up that feed, and searched for “.mp3”. The first result was for episode 6, and the link to that mp3 file is: https://anchor.fm/s/13be18d4/podcast/play/24220127/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2020-11-20%2Fcdc88d9e-9fcd-b292-ea84-e6d4d9a1277d.mp3
I tested to insure that link worked directly, and it does.
The other episodes all have their own unique mp3 file address.
Thank you so much, I think with this I don’t have to worry about hosting the media files on my WordPress dashboard.

Just saw your followup post. Notice we each picked the same mp3 file, but I have ONLY the link to the mp3 file. It is important that when you share this link directly or on your website, you are using only the information as I have listed above. The additional info you have at the beginning and end will cause the file to NOT work as a link. 🙂
Oh, great
I will surely keep this at heart
Gracias..
Don’t forget to mark this support request as resolved once you feel that it IS resolved. 🙂
