What happens with saved own podcasts when updating to Catalina?

[lars666]

Hi everybody,

I have a lot of saved podcasts – also a lot of mp3s which I manually tagged as media kind "podcast", but don't have a real feed. As it seems that you can't manually add mp3s as podcast media files anymore with the new splitted Music / Podcasts apps: What happens with my saved podcasts when updating? Will they be transferred to the new Podcasts app (including the files on my hard drive) as a "one time action"? Will they be deleted from the Podcasts app and the files on my hard drive are put in this separate folder on the desktop (I read that Catalina creates something like this)? Although I have a time machine backup, I don't want to risk that my saved podcasts mp3s are automatically deleted ...

Thanks in advance for the info!

Don't worry, there is a Downloaded menu on the Podcasts app (screenshot attached). Everything seems to be there in my case.
