How can I transfer podcast from my iPhone to the iTunes library in Big Sur ?

I just upgraded from Mojave to Big Sur.

I would like to transfer all the podcasts of my iPhone to my current library in Big Sur.

This would avoid me the painful task to download all podcasts again.

Is there a way to do it ?

Thanks muguy but this is what I feared:

Where are the Podcast files on MacOS loca… - Apple Community

"I ended up re-downloading all unplayed episodes AFTER un-subscribing and re-subscribing to the podcast. The files are not movable currently for Podcast as they are for Music, which can be pointed through Settings>Advanced to another folder. No option currently exist for that in Podcast."

Why did Apple made things so complicated ?

Interesting ! I didn't have this luck apparently. I must have done something wrong.

I found a workaround :

My podcasts are stored in: /Users/[me]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts

I dropped some of them in the new folder: Music/Music/Media/Automatically Add to Music

This way they are added automatically in the music library and I can ear them with the Music app

Thanks !
