Been trying to troubleshoot why deleted podcast keep reappearing on my ipod when I sync. I've found that if I check the actual folders on my computer, even though deleted in itunes the listened to episodes for some podcast are still there and get synced back to the ipod on the next syncing.

Anyone seen/heard about this behavior or have any ideas how to correct?
