How to select which podcasts will sync from Mac to iPhone ?

Hello,


Until recently I used iTunes on El Capitan to selectively sync my podcasts to my iPhone.

I have a huge podcast library, and don't want everything to sync. (nor would that be possibible).


With iTunes I could conveniently select which podcast shows would sync, and which episodes.


Now with Catalina and Podcasts, I don't see where to find that functionality.


Can someone please tell me is this functionality too been removed from Podcasts?

Or is there a way?


Thanks

MacBook Pro

Well, not all hope is lost.


Seems the iTunes functionality related to syncing with your iPhone and chosing what to sync, in Catalina has moved to the Finder, under Locations. Your iPhone will appear there when you plug it into your Mac.

It's also the place to handle backups & upgrades of your iPhone.
