Will, it's quite possible the feature you wish is already present.
Now I'll be honest and say that I must be doing something wrong
because I haven't quite gotten it to work correctly.
So, let me explain. You can have a podcast configured so that as an
episode is completed, it can be essentially marked for deletion. So,
when you sync your iPod again, the completed podcasts episodes are
removed. How this is done is:
1. Choose the podcast you wish to configure from the list. Do not do
this from the iPod, but just from within iTunes.
2. Interact with the podcast you wish to affect. Interact with the top-
level not the individual episodes.
3. Press VO+shift+m to bring up the contextual menu.
4. locate the "Allow autodelete" and press enter.
What is confusing is if you go back and check this, you see an item
now that says do not allow autodelete, but the allow autodelete item
has gone away. My assumption is and I still have to test is that this
should configure things so that the podcasts are removed.
What is really interesting is that you must completely finish the
podcast, in other words, advance to the end of the podcast. Other than
removing it by hand, there is no way i am aware of to just mark it to
be removed on the next sync.
Now if I'm incorrect in my understanding and your thinking more of a
feature that will let you mark the podcast regardless of where you are
in the episode to be removed upon next sync, then please send a note
to Apple via the iTunes feedback option under the iTunes menu from the
menu bar.
Good idea.

Hi to all
I am obtaining my new nano today so excited :)
I do however, have a suggestion.
If one has loads of podcasts, it is going to be cumbersome to have
to remember what you have listened too when next syncing the nano
i.e. which ones to delete off the mac if you don't wish to hear
them. I therefore have a suggestion.
Wouldn't it be good if one could delete a podcast after listening to
it from the nano itself? then one could say when next syncing you
have x amount of podcasts marked for deletion. erase off
IPod only radio button or, IPod and mac
One could then if they wish check a checkbox to say do the selected
action each time i sync i.e. it will tell you which podcasts off the
nano are marked for deletion and then you can confirm them
automatically to be deleted
Do people think this could be a relevant feature of the nano and or
i tunes?
regards will
