Hello Ketan, I don't think you can directly sync Podcasts from Downcast to your computer unless maybe you were using a Mac and purchased the Downcast app which from the Mac App Store which came out a few weeks ago. If you are using a PC it would probably be easiest if you exported your Podcast list from Downcast and imported it to iTunes and then use iTunes to manage which Podcasts you want to keep or not keep. Maybe somebody who does more with Podcasts has a better suggestion, I just listen to a few Podcasts on my iPhone and for the most part I delete them afterwards. If there really is one I want to download to my computer I usually just do so from whichever Podcast website it is on.

Only there is one issue that I need to know and have not yet discovered: How do I get all my podcast files on to my PC and delete them from Iphone once downloaded for future preservation? Please do let me know as to how do I sync in a way that my music or other podcastes will come along?
