On Catalina, I have a station set up to show unplayed podcasts. Right now it shows a podcast from yesterday "Science Friday Part 2", but not "Science Friday Part 1", which I had to find by looking in "episodes".

It also doesn't show several other podcasts which I found in "Recently Updated", but which I haven't listened to (I'm tracking which episodes I listen to).

I have given up trying to listen to podcasts on my phone and watch because they won't synchronize with my Mac.

I personally also gave up on podcasts on the Mac. Maybe someone has a great app, but for me using Overcast made my phone / watch always with me and “perfect for this job” so my Mac can take a rest from podcast duties and only need to work when I listen to music and find it’s better than HomePod / watch / phone / iPad.

I know this doesn’t directly answer your question, but really - consider not solving this at all on the Mac is my advice. Since Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey have come and gone, I still haven’t needed to use Apple podcast app anywhere and overcast is still what I’m happy to pay for and use since it makes me happy and saves me time.

I would suggest using Overcast, which is a great iOS app, but also runs pretty well as an M1 mac app.

  • I think I tried it, but I didn't figure out how to synchronize it with my Mac's podcast app.

  • I just installed it on my M1 iMac, entered my email and a password the subscribed to a podcast. Did the same thing with my phone, and the podcast showed up there too! I expect they will synchronize when I start listening. Thanks!!!
