If you look under Genres->Podcasts in Gizmo you'll see them, also since they get updated often they'll sort to the top of Recent Albums.
You could also do Media Network->Advanced->Customize views for Gizmo... and add a podcast category under Audio...

Thank you Bob

Sorry if this is sound a stupid but how do I add a podcast category under Audio (in Gizmo)? I have clicked Add -> Library Item and tried to find anything related to podcast but I cant find any.

Very grateful for some guidance.

Options->Media Network->Advanced->...Customize views for Gizmo, WebRemote and WebPlay
Click on Audio
Add Library Item, Name it Podcasts
Show Categories in this Order->Add
Album Artist (auto) use the default sorting
and
Episode sort Descending to get the latest episode at the top
Do "set rules for file display"
Add new rule
Media Sub Type is Podcast
Add new modifier
Sort by
Album Artist (auto) (a-z)
Episode (z-a)

Apply
Ok, OK, OK

This is probably a bit of overkill but it works for me.

Thanks a lot Bob!

It works nice :-)

Working with MC for some time now I understand that you can add and change almost anything. However many things (like this Podcast feature) is not so easy to figure out if you are not an experienced user. I think it would be a great if such a guide you gave me could be found some where in the Help och Wiki section.
