Since podcasts have been moved from itunes (now called MUSIC) to a separate podcast app, where can I locate the downloaded podcast content on my Mac? I am using MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.2 Thanks.

Thank you. I previously found the info on link 1, and understand how to use the new podcast app. The 2nd link had a similar question at the bottom of the page- Where are podcasts saved. The response was: the podcast audio files are stored in

~/Library/Group Containers/243LU875E5.groups.com.apple.podcasts – but it isn’t very user-friendly because the filenames are different.

Not user friendly is an understatement! However, Find any File looks very interesting and promising. But yet, wondering if Apple has any more user friendly solution to this issue -- like right click and find in finder?

My thoughts are Apple is shooting for Apple friendliness, not user friendliness... I'd have to give up on Macs, likely computers totally if it weren't for 3rd party Apps, of which FaF is indispensable... I hope Apple doesn't buy it & ruin it.
