How to Edit Information on an Existing Podcast on iTunes

iTunes can automatically download podcasts to your iPad or computer.

As well as selling music, the iTunes store distributes thousands of free podcasts, or downloadable radio-style shows. When you subscribe to a podcast in iTunes, the program automatically downloads new episodes to your iTunes library. It then uses the information tags on the podcasts to sort them, allowing you to quickly find a specific episode. If a podcast's information is incorrect, or if you want to change it for any other reason, you can edit this information within iTunes.
