Sometimes they will play, but sometimes you click on the play button, or double click on the podcast, and it will look as if it's going to begin to play, but then it just stays in the same spot - seconds/minutes don't progress, but the pause button shows instead of play, as if it is playing.

Try using Ctrl+B to enable the menu bar if hidden, then use Edit > Preferences > Playback and look at the entry for Play Audio Using. This will normally be set to either Direct Sound or Windows Audio Session. Changing to the other setting may sometimes help.
Otherwise see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, tear it all down, and reinstall.

I have the latest version of itunes, which I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
I just realized now my music is doing the same thing - nothing will play.
ok, I figured out that my podcasts were not being stored on my pc but to an external drive. That external drive is always plugged in, but iTunes sometimes seems unable to find the stuff that's on there, and sometimes finds it just fine. So I think maybe it's a problem with the external drive.... so never mind and thanks anyway!
Are these podcasts that have been download to your computer, or are you streaming them from the podcast provider?
