iPod shuffle and Mac Catalina

I typically have used my iPod shuffle to listen to downloaded Podcasts.... let's me go places without my iPhone, but now I am not sure how to load Podcasts onto the shuffle. Anyone else? I can see the device on Finder but see no option to load content.

I WORKED IT OUT!!!

Plug your shuffle into your computer, (I have a mac so mot sure if this translates to windows). Open finder and the shuffle should be there in the side bar. Click on it. In the top right hand corner there will be a box that says 'Manage storage', click on that, and then on podcasts in the box that pops up. Now open the podcast app and then drag and drop the required podcasts into the podcast box you just opened in finder! Took me some fiddling around so I hope this work for you too.

I also was unable to see "Manage Storage". I simply clicked on the Ipod, Removed any old Podcasts, then opened the Podcast App. I then dragged the podcasts to the iPod. Will now test. One note - after I had dragged 3 podcasts, it seem to not want to do anymore. I change the view method to icon rather than list, to make sure I wasn't dragging over podcasts that I had already copied, and this seem to work, Recharging Ipod, then will test

I am deeply angry that apple released this upgrade without adequately supporting ipod shuffle (my waterproofed, apple certified shuffle for swimming) and ipod nano 8th gen for podcasts. I finally figured out the laborious and time consuming way to put podcasts on but can't get a playlist on my nano. You may be the dominant player now but moves like this create the perfect storm for users to look for a disintermediating alternative to apple. Someone will break your near monoply some day - why hasten the fall?
