Yes I am. In Time Machine, in the Itunes Media Files, I select the podcast file I want (1.9 Gb). I then right click and select "Restore NPR Fresh Air podcast to...". That takes me to the Finder, Choose Folder popup where I select the Ipod device. The file then downloads.
In the Ipod, the 1.9 Gb file shows only in "other" which is inaccessible. Podcasts, music, videos are all empty. ??
