iTunes finally speaks podcast - but not very fluently yet. There is much eye candy, but it doesn’t just make things nicer it also covers up some very annoying bugs. What I do not like:
- podcasts are very separate from the rest of iTunes. There is no way of creating a smart playlist for podcasts.
- there is no per-podcast setting
- there is no way of saying: “take the most current podcast with a hit counter of 0″
- how do I get old podcasts into the system and make them bookmarkable?

I agree that the lack of a per podcast setting is annoying. Particularly for deleting old items. Some podcasts update everyday and I’d like to keep them for a week, others update once a week, and I don’t need to keep them.
Now I just manually delete the ones I don’t need.
Also, when iTunes removes a podcast behind the scenes, it just removes it from the display. Have a look in your podcasts folder using the Finder, the files might still be there taking up space.
