Project Neon uses a different KDEHOME, which is where KDE stores
settings and application files, in order not to interfere with the
normal KDE/Amarok installation.
This is normally $HOME/.amarok-nightly
The podcasts should be in /share/apps/amarok/podcasts.
The thing is, just moving those files there will not help you. Amarok
2 will not know those files are there nor associate them with the
podcast episodes in it's list.

There is a bug report about this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155089
A different solution would be to extend the database importer to
include the podcast tables and files. Since resources are spread to
thin I doubt we'll see that soon unless someone steps up. The
podcasting features could use a few extra hands, even a different
maintainer then me.
