Hi David,

Sorry for another afterthought.  You _should_ be able to just use the
general Search field (command-option F) in iTunes to search for the
Blind Cool Tech podcast when you've selected the iTunes Store in 
your source pane.  The problem is that the search goes through
everything in the iTunes Store.  It's OK for running Music searches, but 
in practice a search for podcasts done this way will time out without 
finding anything.  And it's absolutely awful trying to search this way 
when the store is really busy -- like when there are lots of customers
wanting to try out a new feature like iTV.  That's why searching for
podcasts limited by category is preferable.  You can often make this
search work even when the store is impossibly busy for music searches.
In practice, I just save this address for the podcast search as a 
bookmark.

And this really is my last comment on this topic!
