As far as I can see you are up to date and podcasts should appear in the
first level menu (just after 'Playlists') as well as the second level
'music - podcasts'.

On the other hand I just tried to duplicate your snag on mine and I can sort
of get what you describe if I download the podcast as an MP3 rather than
from the links in iTunes. And no matter what I do it will not go into the
podcast folder. I guess iTunes must tag the mp3s somehow.
OK I know you are 'subscribed' so that is not really your snag. But could it
be that iTunes or iPod has 'lost' the tagging ability?
A Google search found nothing about tagging but many folk seem to have
problems putting mp3s into the iPod podcast folder if it is not taken from
an actual "podcast" link.

So I'm afraid the only suggestion I can offer is to do a hard reboot and
re-install the iPod operating system.
The easiest way is to use Apple's 'iPod Updater'

You might as well do iTunes as well while you are at it.

Good Luck
