The podcast is asking for your Apple Account password, not a separate podcast password. It does not appear in iTunes because Apple retired podcasts from iTunes years ago they now live in the built-in Apple Podcasts app on your Mac.

Where is the Password?

It is your main Apple Account password (the same one you use for iCloud, the App Store, or your iPhone).
If you cannot remember it, reset it by going to System Settings > [Your Name/Apple Account] > Sign-In & Security > Change Password, or visit Apple Account Recovery.
It may not be in your Mac's Passwords app if you previously saved it under a different Apple Account or signed into Media & Purchases with a separate ID from your main iCloud login.
