Podcasts not downloading with Catalina

Is anyone having trouble downloading podcasts to 245 with music since Catalina upgrade on mac? On garmin express, my podcasts (even ones I downloaded ages ago) show up 3 times and when I try to send a new one to my device, it says "syncing and ok" (as in it worked) but then there is no podcast on the device (and it shows as Unknown with no content on the lower part of the express screen.)

Garmin, are you ever going to get back to me on this?? Podcasts still not downloading consistently. A few do but the rest do not as described above.

Have you called Product Support and asked them to open a case? If more people that let them know that this is a problem, they may start working on it.

Update:

After raising ticket and sharing video recording of my screen with Garmin Express showing strange behaviour of Podcast section - Garmin only offered to watch their Video manual how to transfer files to watch and the list of supported audio formats.

Nice try, Garmin. Customer care - top grade...

Workaround - In Catalina - drug n drop your downloaded podcast episode to any location on your Mac. The MP3 file would appear. Then drug n drop it to Music app and sync it as a Song.

Garmin watch still would distort its filename but I was able to play it on my watch as a song. At least something.
