To download a podcast episode, all you need to do is tap on the little down arrow to the right of the title. The podcast will play until you hit the Done button, and you can play the audio in the background as any other audio app by Apple. Tap that, and the podcast will fill your iOS device’s screen. A little preview square will drop down, looking like a video preview with a white triangle in the middle of it.
