I have just upgraded my 3g iPod to a 5g iPod. I found that it would only play one podcast at a time. This happened even if I had a podcast playlist that I had made. My 1g Nano did the same thing and it was very annoying. If I was running I would have to stop to pick another podcast every time one ended. Strangely my 3g iPod would work fine. I couldn't believe Apple had taken this ability out and it turns out they haven't.

The issue is caused by the fact I had shuffle songs set to on. Once that is turned off it works fine. Each podcast has a tick box that says skip on shuffle. I didn't want to go through each one and change it. I just turned shuffle off on the iPod and all is well.
