I can not figure out how to do a smart playlist consisting of Podcast with apples latest ios. I had no problem making smart playlist with podcast when the podcast were included with the music app.
iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, iOS 5.1
Yup.
The absence of smart playlists in the Podcasts app is a terrible backward step. I always listen using a smart playlist that collects all the unplayed episodes from selected podcasts and presents them in a queue, from oldest to most recent. You can talk to Apple directly on their Product Feedback page and tell them what you want.

But I have at last found a fix that has worked for me, at least. I deleted the Podcasts app from my iPhone 4 (and from iTunes on my Mac), re-started my iPhone, and - Happy Days! - the unplayed podcast episodes I was looking for have returned to my smart playlist in the Music app, as they are in the iTunes smart playlist on my Mac.
Did Apple get rid of the Smart playlist for Podcasts in iOS 6
