how to refresh podcasts in itunes 11.2?

In the Podcasts selection in the latest Itunes release (11.2), there is no "Refresh" button at the bottom, right of the window. How does one refresh subscribed podcasts now?

MacBook, Intel Core Duo; iMac, Intel Core II Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

I too thank you royally.


But my deeper question is: how are mere mortals like us who agree to an update and open a redesigned application supposed to divine this?


What was wrong with the old way of "refreshing."


Why can't people at Apple learn that if it ain't broke, don't fix it?


After the disaster with the previous iTunes update, I approach every new one with fear and trepidation -- and apparently with good reason.

I do too, and am really thinking about switching to a new client for my new iPhone. I've never been thrilled with the Apple app since it got spun out. But the problem is that I don't want all my podcast episodes on my listening device (currently an iPod touch); sometimes I keep ones I've already listened to, either temporarily or permanently, and often rename them. But all the replacements I've heard about require managing all the podcasts on the iPhone. Any suggestions?

I've given up on iTune/Podcasts for managing podcasts. I use Downcast apps on both my Mac and iOS devices.

Can't say I have totally given up but I certainly maintain DOWNCAST on my devices as well. When on the go so easy to download a podcast on DOWNCAST, can't imagine why APPLE doesn't have something similar. Their last attempy at an apple app like that was complete failure. Was horrible junk!
