When downloading or streaming a podcast the average podcast uses around 1 MB of data per hour.

If you download a 40 minute podcast or stream a 40 minute podcast you can expect to use at least 40 MB of data.

If you download or stream a 60 minute podcast you can expect to use around 60 MB of data.

Downloading and streaming podcasts use the same amount of data so you will use the same amount of data whether you download the podcast and listen to it later or you stream the podcast.

The good thing about downloading a podcast though is that you can listen to the podcast anytime and you can listen to the podcast over again as much as you want too.
