Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks.

A Podcast may contain text in the description box, but that doesn't necessarily mean the lyrics.


Assuming that the Podcast you are referring to is music (with lyrics of course), then the lyrics would only be included if the programme's producer has included them. There may be copyright restrictions that prevent this from happening.


To see the description for a Podcast episode within in your iTunes Podcasts Library:

  • if using View/View As/List, click on the more that is shown in blue on the right hand side. It will reveal the full description. Sometimes part of the description may already be shown. See the screenshot below:



In the screenshot above, for the three episodes UT 1197 to UT 1199, click on the more to see the full description. Notice that UT 1199 already has part of the description showing. I don't know why this episode should be different. For episode UT 1200 I have already clicked more and so the full description is now displayed.


  • if you are using the View/View As/Classic List, it's a little bit more involved. Right-click the column headers and select Description (if it's not already shown) from the pop-up context menu:



Once the Description column is visible, select the episode you want and the click on the little i button that pops up:



... which shows this:
