Shuffle cuts off ending to certain podcasts, not others

I just bought an iPod Shuffle and had this very same issue happen too. Like you, I loaded it with Wretched Radio podcasts and The Dividing Line podcasts (James White "AOMin" podcasts) and it cuts off the last 30 seconds or so of the podcasts as well.

I bought the blue iPod Shuffle about 3 or 4 weeks ago and after a week of noticing this happen, I brought it back to the Apple store in Vancouver, BC at Pacific Centre Mall where I the Genius Bar guy who helped me, Emilio Da Silva, told me it was a hardware issue. I basically exchanged it for another blue iPod Shuffle. Then I went on a trip out of town for two weeks. I noticed the same issue happening on this second iPod Shuffle. I'm about to bring it back to the Apple store again.

By the way, there was one Wretched Radio episode that played straight through but every other one would get cut off at the end. So it seems like it's almost random.... but MOST of the times it cuts off the ending. Like, 99% of the time.

I just bought a new ipod shuffle last week and it is also doing the same thing...and with wretched podcasts and others Dave Wheaton's show cut off too but only the last seconds and last week it was a Dividing Line podcast . Not much is cut off at the end but it's frustrating. It means I have to remember to give the last moments a listen when I am at the computer. I loved my old ipod shuffle that my kids gave me back in 2006. Please Apple...why did you mess with something that was so handy-dandy.

I have the same problem. Do you find any solution?

I also have this problem ... have had it for months. the podcast downloads in full, and I can hear it completely in iTunes, but from the 4th gen iPod many get the front and/or back trimmed by a few seconds. The change from iTunes 10 to 11 didn't make any difference.
