Hi, I can't remember exactly where I saw it, but I think in the downloads queue you do have the option to mark the podcast for streaming.
When I have some free time later, I will have a look and try to find the exact steps to accomplish this. The audio quality of OverCast makes it the winner for me over both iCatcher and DownCast.
