On Linux, it's under ~/.config/gpodder - you will find it in the hidden
folder ".config" in your home directory ("echo $HOME" in a terminal
should give you the location of your home directory).
On Windows, the configuration is stored in a subfolder of the directory
in which gpodder.exe resides (i.e. in the application folder). The
reason for this is that gPodder for Windows is thought as a "portable
app", so that users can put gPodder directly on a USB stick and use it.
HTH.

PS: You can set the environment variables "GPODDER_HOME" and
"GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR" to force using a different location - see the
section "Portable mode / roaming profiles" in the README file for
details.
