I have played around with the app for the mac a little more. Unfortunately I can't seem to get my playlist episodes to sync properly. Not sure why this happened. Any ideas as I really want everything to sync up. All of my podcasts transferred properly as soon as I selected sync with iCloud, and I did check all the boxes including episodes but for some reason it only seemed to get the last episode for a lot of my pods, and not the older episodes I have saved for a lot of podcasts that I haven't had a chance to listen to.
