Hi Shaun, >I have a question about folders in I Tunes for podcasts.
Toggle your folders open/closed with the command: VO-keys+backslash (where backslash is the key just below the delete key at the right side of your keyboard) You should hear VoiceOver update the status of the folder and add "expanded" if the folder is open. Make sure the folder is open if you want to access individual episodes.

Regardless of subscription preferences, you're only dealing with the podcasts through the unexpanded folder. You can probably only play the latest episode when you press carriage return while your VoiceOver cursor is on the folder for your podcast subscription. If the folder isn't open you won't see the individual shows. If you delete the folder instead of individual podcast episodes, I think you've removed your subscription. At least, you've removed the element you interact with to change settings about your subscription, feed update, etc by deleting the folder for your subscription. Podcast subscriptions show up in their own library which is separate from the Music library. If you want to mix podcast episodes with selections from your Music library, create a playlist with entries from both libraries. >I also don't see all the shows in my music >folder under the specific pod-cast. Are you talking about navigating through your Music folder with Finder? If so, you'll find all your podcasts under a Podcasts folder organized by the name of the podcast. For example, you might have Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts/Screenless Switchers - in your account. There is a "Show in Finder" option under the File Menu of iTunes that brings up the location of any selected track in iTunes. The shortcut key is command+r. You can navigate finder to view other files in the same folder, move up a level by going into column view mode (command+3) and using your left arrow key, etc. Hope this helps, Esther
