Podcast will not sync to iphone

It's 3/11/14 and I just realized one of my podcasts has not been synching to my phone. I just thought they stopped the podcast because the show is not live anymore.

My other podcast is still synching up so I didn't notice.

I've unsubscribed and resubscribed to the podcast. No help.

I can see all the episodes on itunes but they do not show up on my iphone.

I've read other threads and have tried their suggestions and only one has worked so far. I thought I would post the solution just in case it helps someone else.

Go to Podcast in itunes

Select the list option

Right click on the podcast that is not syncing

Get info, select yes, when it asks you if you want to make changes

Go to the Options

Change the Media type to "itunes u"

Of course you have to have the itunes u app. It's free and a great app.

My podcast showed up and I can listen to it now.

It's very strange and I hope Apple will fix this problem soon.

I haven't synced it to any new episodes yets so I don't know if I'll have to change the settings for all new episodes each week or it'll just follow the other ones into the itunes U app.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I have a iphone4 and have been listening to these podcasts for years with no problem. I didn't change any settings except for all these updates itunes suggests.
