Q: how to add new podcasts to existing “my stations” in apple podcasts app?

hello,

 

this situation holds true for the apple podcasts app, v. 2.0 (418), on all my iOS devices, all updated to iOS 7.0.3, both a 3rd generation iPad 64 GB wi-fi only, and my iPhone 5 32 GB with AT&T as the carrier.

 

i have created several categories in the new feature, “my stations” section of the podcasts app. however, i have searched and searched all the settings and features and cannot figure out, once “my stations” categories are set up, how to add a new podcast i have just added to the app to an existing category. does anyone know how to add a new podcast you've just added to the app to an already existing “my stations” category?

 

i've searched and searched the settings and features in the apple podcasts app and also searched the apple support section here on on-line and in this discussion group and come up with nothing in any case. i am kind of surprised no one else has asked about this.

 

if anyone could please help and let me know how to add a new podcast you just added to the apple podcasts app, v. 2.0 (418), into an already existing “my stations” category, i would greatly appreciate it. it really is not apparent on the app's UI.

 

thank you in advance.

 

best,

well, posted this twice to this apple support community discussion for the apple podcasts app, and i got zip back in the way of replies. i know i'm probably going to get some boilerplate back from some saying that apple itself doesn't reply to these forums, it community based support, etc., blah, blah, blah, but i mean, c'mon, people?! a little basic help with what should be a standard feature.

 

anyway, a fellow over at the macrumors.com forums gave

 

[QUOTE]In the podcasts app, go to the My Stations tab at the bottom. Click on the station, then click "Settings." At the bottom, you should see "Choose Podcasts..." Click that, and choose the podcasts you want to add.[/QUOTE]

 

and yup! that did it. i still feel that this feature should not be so “buried” and more intuitive to add additional podcasts to “my stations.” anyways, consider this resolved.

    I know this post is several years old, but it's still an issue (at least it is for me). Thanks very much for the macrumors explanation. I never would have found the answer without it. And I would concur that it's odd for the solution to be so elusive.
