iPod nano is feeding me both podcasts and music at random. Duh?

Why is my iPod Nano, recently updated to Catalina, reset to factory settings and synched with my iMac, now mixing indifferently podcasts and music when I click on play"songs"? Didn't APPLE think of making a clear distinction between podcasts and music when it split iTunes into categories? The distinction was efficient and effective before; in my listening experience, before Catalina and the iTunes split, I was choosing to listen either to songs, or to podcasts- not both. Now I do not that option anymore: I am fed both categories at random if I click on play "songs". Is it me, or it a goof on APPLE's part?

I gladly would, but have you noticed that, in the link you provided, there is not even an "iPod" product to click on to give my feedback? Ah ah, that is telling, no? It is about all APPLE products currently sold, but the iPod category is not there. APPLE, I presume, prefers to not have to deal with iPods anymore. They were, yet, the niftiest product, as far as I am concerned. I have 2 nanos and use them all the time to listen to music or podcasts while I do tasks around the house or go for a walk. They are light, small, sturdy and easy to cram with music. My iPhone does not even come close to that kind of practicality.
