AmesMUG: Smart Playlist on iTunes for New Podcasts?

[Colin Wheeler]

I tried that and played with tweaking the conditions a bit but I keep
getting the same 40 items as before. I can't believe apple wouldn't create
something as simple as
"Podcast - isMakedAsNew"

Though I can understand a bit, iTunes smart playlists are designed around
songs and thus adapting a system for songs around non-song media would
complicate things a bit. Still all I want is to simply see new Podcasts from
my list and nothing else, something that shouldn't be this hard at all
considering it's so easy to do in Mail.
