Keeping my place in Podcasting

Question:
Q. I've been experimenting with Nokia's Podcasting application and gradually finding some Internet podcasts that I really enjoy. I have a question though. If I interrupt playback of a long podcast to go back to the main directory in order to check for updates to other podcasts, the application loses my place and I have to guess where I got to, which can be very frustrating. Surely it's not supposed to work this way?
Answer:
A. No, it's not! Although Podcasting helpfully allows you to play podcasts as well as gather them, the trick is to note that the downloaded podcasts are also available, properly tagged and sorted, in your phone's Music Player library.
- Go to Music player and bring up the library screen.
- Tap on 'Podcasts'
- Use one of the time filters or simply go by title
- Listen to a podcast and don't worry if you get interrupted or even if the phone has to be powered down for some reason - Music player is very good at remembering where you got to in each podcast!
