It seems that way, but following your instructions to the "T" I
created a alias using command L pressed enter on the file to preserve
the name, copied the alias to the desktop and the name reverted back
to just saying pod-cast not pod-cast alias. I deleted the pod-cast
alias in the original place. I went back to the desktop and deleted a
pod-cast episode from the list and nothing change in the original. I
am still stumped. I have audio hi-jack pro so if you want me to record
this I can.

I'm 99% sure that what you have on the desktop is a copy of the
folder, not an Alias. Aliases are just pointers. If you click on
an Alias, it opens the actual folder on your hard drive. So if you
delete something in there, it will be deleting from the original
folder. There is nothing inside the Alias to delete. Here's how to
create an alias:
1. Navigate to the folder you want an ALias for.
2. Press VO-Shift-M and choose "Make Alias" from the context menu.
3. Press enter to accept the default name which will be the name of
the folder plus the word "Alias"
4. Copy the Alias to the desktop.
5. Delete the original copy of the Alias that is in the same
location as the folder to which it points.

Still they don't update themselves. I delete a pod-cast on the
desktop it doesn't delete it from the original. My question is why?
To continue the file path podcast/macbreakweekly/episode. If this
is the alias I put on the desktop as a alias and I delete episode
in the alias I still have a copy of what was deleted in the original.
