Q: How do I delete a podcast from iTunes 12?
I have a couple dozen duplicate Podcasts in my iTunes library, and I'd like to delete them.
Here's how I think it's supposed to work. Right click, then click "Delete". In fact, that does work sometimes. Check here:
However, I don't wish to delete that Podcast, so having the option doesn't help. If, however, I try the same thing with the next item down…
… there are fewer options, and "Delete" is not among them.
BTW, if I click "Play" the podcast plays.
If I click "Podcast Settings" absolutely nothing happens.
If I click "Download All" absolutely nothing happens (nothing enters my download queue).
If I click "Show in iTunes Store" I go to a page saying that the Podcast could not be found.
There are similar questions in the 'iTunes for Windows' community but I'm using a Mac.

OK, here's what I found:
The podcasts in question were saved as Music albums/songs with the *genre* "podcast" not the media type "podcast".
The solution was to go into Music, find the podcasts in my album list, and delete them there. Afterward, they no longer appeared in my Podcast list.
