A quickstart to get you going:

The main screen of podkicker is divided into four tabs; Channels, Episodes, Downloads, Playlist.

You use horizontal swiping gestures with your finger to switch between the tabs.

The Channel tab lists the podcasts you currently subscribe to.

The Episode tab lists the 200 latest episodes from all your subscriptions.

The Downloads tab lists the episodes you have downloaded to your phone.

The Playlist is a list of downloads you want to play in a certain order.

The rest should be quite self explanatory.
