Shane, You can set whether you want to download any Podcasts in the global settings. Double tap the "More" tab at the bottom right of the screen. Now double tap "Settings" at the top of the screen. Find the "New Episode Action" heading. Underneath that double tap of whichever option is selected, you will get the following list of choices: Do Nothing Download All New Download most recent Mark all new for streaming Mark most recent for streaming
You can then also set which episodes to keep a bit further down in the settings and tell Downcast if Automatic Downloading should be done "Never", "Always" or on "WiFi only". If you set your global settings, for example, you tell Downcast to "Mark all new for streaming", but you want to "download the but most recent" for a particular Podcast, you can do this by double tapping on that Podcast, then double tap on the Settings button at the bottom right of that screen. Here you can change the global settings for that Podcast only and whichever settings you choose will take priority over the global settings.

This app seems very easy to navigate with VO, which is something that always helps. Another question I have is, when you subscribe to a podcast, can you subscribe to it without it downloading to your device? In other words, subscribe to it, but just stream them? I thought I read on Applevis that you could this.
