Podcast Preferences

I am trying to sync my podcasts from my phone to my Mac.

In the online instructions it says to "In the Podcasts app, choose Podcasts > Preferences > Advanced, then make sure “Sync follows across devices” is selected."

For the life of me, I am not able to see in the podcast app where "preferences" is located. Any advice would be very welcome. Thank you

How to select which podcasts will sync from Mac to iPhone ? Hello, Until recently I used iTunes on El Capitan to selectively sync my podcasts to my iPhone. I have a huge podcast library, and don't want everything to sync. (nor would that be possibible). With iTunes I could conveniently select which podcast shows would sync, and which episodes. Now with Catalina and Podcasts, I don't see where to find that functionality. Can someone please tell me is this functionality too been removed from Podcasts? Or is there a way? Thanks

My Podcast seems not to be listed Hi, I've created a podcast with Podcast Connect. The first two episodes are online and I shared the link on social media etc. A friend f mine who wanted to listen to the podcast, told me that he can't find it anywhere and that if I uploaded it with Apple Connect it should have been automatically listed and recognized by some podcatchers. That was the reason why I've chosen Apple Podcasts Connect. But a few weeks after the release of the first episode my friend told me that he couldn't find my podcast anywhere. I checked it and he's right. I can't find my podcast in the Podcasts application on my Macs. I checked the podcast application on my iPhone and there it is and works great. So my question is: How do I get my podcast listed on iTunes / Apple Podcasts so that you can listen to it on all devices, not only on iPhones?

Disregard - I was able to figure it out. They mean the preferences at the top of the screen, I was simply looking within the window.
