In itunes (for windows) can you set podcast location on disk to a different location? In itunes (latest for for windows) can you set podcast download location on disk to a different location that just the media folder set in preferences?
Unfortunately, not really.  While you can specify the location of the entire iTunes Library folder (in Preferences, to to Advanced, and change the iTunes Media location), you can't set a different directory for specific types of media, such as podcasts.
