If I was in the car and wanted to listen to the latest episode of The Pipeline I either had to plan ahead and sync or just listen to the most recent version I had on my iPhone. Which means that up until a few weeks ago my Podcasts were virtually never up to date.

Since I use MobileMe to keep my contacts and calendars in sync I rarely have need to sync my iPhone. Such as driving, mowing the lawn, or working in the garage. There are only a few podcasts which I listen to on a regular basis, and when I do listen to them it is usually during some activity which has me away from my computer. When at my desk working I either listen to music or silence.

(If you are subscribed to more than one podcast, you have to repeat step “a” for each individual subscription, and manually download each new episode.) The two ways to get a new podcast episode onto your iPhone are either: (a) tap “get more episodes”, be taken to the iTunes app and then pick a single episode to download to your iPhone, wait for it to download, return to the iPod app and play the episode or else (b) sync your iPhone to your computer and transfer any new episodes which have downloaded to your computer onto your iPhone. However, when the podcast you are subscribed to publishes a new episode there is no easy way to get it. We listen to new ones as they get published. We don’t listen to podcast episodes over and over. With a podcast there is always something new to add and something old to get rid of. But for a podcast, it’s like a radio or television show - I listen to it once and that’s it. I listen to the same album many, many times and only have my favorite albums and artists synced to my iPhone. Treating music or movies that you’ve synced to your your iPhone as static content is fine. Because at that point the content on your iPhone becomes static - as if podcasts are treated like albums and episodes like songs. However, the frustrating part of subscribing to podcasts on your iPhone happens once you’ve synced the podcast and its episodes to your device. Making sure that your new podcast has been hand-selected to be one of the ones which sync to your iPhone. Now, if you want to listen to that podcast on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, you must plug your device into your computer and sync it. The show is added to your own podcast subscription list and the most recent show is downloaded onto your computer. Once deciding you want to subscribe to that podcast, you end up on that show’s page in iTunes and you subscribe for free. Or perhaps you’ve come to a website promoting their podcast, or a friend told you about a certain one. Perhaps you are simply browsing the multitude of shows in the iTunes Podcast directory. You discover a podcast you like via one of many ways. There is a problem with subscribing to podcasts on your iPhone, and it has to do with iTunes.
