F.A.Q - Part 2
Are there parental controls for podcasts?
The Parental Controls built into iTunes apply to podcasts. Limit your children’s exposure to explicit content, or block the Podcasts section altogether, from the Parental Controls section of the iTunes preferences.
How do I unsubscribe?
If you are no longer interested in a podcast to which you are subscribed, highlight the podcast in your Library and click the Unsubscribe button in the lower left hand corner of the screen. To unsubscribe and delete all files related to the podcast, simply press the Delete key after selecting a podcast.
Can I put podcasts in a playlist?
Yes, podcast episodes can be added to a playlist, or smart playlist, like any other track. However, new episodes of a podcast are not automatically added to a standard playlist. See the Get Smart Playlists section of the Podcasting Tips and Tricks page for a guide to enhancing your podcast experience with smart playlists.
Can I play podcasts on my iPod shuffle?
Yes. To play a podcast on iPod shuffle, set the switch on iPod shuffle to play in order. Also, note that the Autofill feature of iTunes will not add audiobooks and podcasts to iPod shuffle. Instead, you should manually add audiobooks and podcasts to iPod shuffle by dragging them to the iPod shuffle playlist.
