Podcasts get copied to the shuffle but don't play unless you uncheck  
the Skip when shuffling option for each one. Very un-intuitive, but I  
discovered this when my son loaded his shuffle with podcasts for a  
day when he didn't have much school, but had to stay at school, and  
found he couldn't listen to any of them.
