Too marginal to say definitively. It might make a difference if you
routinely turn off BT when using the internal speaker, but most people
don't.

The best way to save power is use airplane mode which turns off the mobile

But no cellular radio (for data aka Internet) means no podcast.  The OP
isn't listening to local audio files on his phone.

When I used podcasts they were usually downloaded and could be played
any time without a internet connection. That makes them interesting for
longer flights or ship travelling. And many users build libraries of
podcasts.
