Browse for Podcast in 8.1

[sonardude1]

Maybe I'm missing something, but how do you browse for NEW or FEATURED Podcast. Did MS take this feature away?
I don't see anyway to just look for new podcast either in the store or in the new Podcast app!

Also I've noticed some podcast feed's won't update and do not show up if you search for them. Weird.

Any thoughts?

From what I can see, there is no pre-populated categories such as New, Featured, etc. This podcast app seems pretty bare bones at this point, but at least there is now variable speed playback option. I am sure they will update it just like other apps (music, games, etc).

Most of the podcast I like showed an unselectable result when doing a search for them. It's a preview, so here's to hoping it gets fixed. I also prefered the ability to browse through podcast categories like you could do in Xbox Music before it was seperated out.
I think this article sums it up nicely. And actually takes Podcasts to task for being a bit disfunctional. Apparently Podcasts is pointing to an out of date directory.

Does anyone know of a way to add your own MP3s to the podcast app?

I have an audio book which I have changed to Genre : Podcast and added into the podcast file... but it doesn't show.
