Make sure the function is returning a PDOStatement Object.

returning values with pdo

index.php 
<?php
function get_podcasts() {
    include 'connection.php';

    //add code here
$sql =("SELECT * FROM podcasts ");
 $stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->fetchAll(); 
 return $result; 



/* $select->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
 $select->execute();
 $data=$select->fetch();
  return $data;*/
}

You're close...

<?php
function get_podcasts() {
    include 'connection.php';

    //add code here
    $result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM podcasts");
    return $result;

    // or like this if you would like to use prepare()
    $result = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM podcasts");
    $result->execute();
    return $result;
}
