AmesMUG: Smart Playlist on iTunes for New Podcasts?

[John Rearick]

I ended up subscribing to a podcast to experiment with this, and that  
does not work  :(.  It seems there may not be a skip count on  
podcasts and it doesn't like to record last played or mark things as  
played/not played in custom playlists.  WTF.  This seems like a  
missing feature.  If skip count isn't how many times you have skipped  
the song before completion, then what is it?
