Podcasts should be under Music. (They are listed under "More" in the music section.)

AFAIK, they do not automatically sync - at least, mine doesn't. Then again, iTunes does not automatically download some of the podcasts to which I subscribe, so YMMV.

 

[OK!]

You can check an option in iTunes that will have it automatically download new podcasts from the source and then sync them to your iPod Touch. When the Touch is connected, click it in the Source list and then click Podcasts. You can then click the checkbox to have it sync all episodes of selected podcasts, or all unplayed episodes of that podcast, etc. Then go where the PP said on the Touch itself, and all of your available episodes will be listed.

That feature is a little wonky though - as I said, some of my subscribed podcasts do not automatically download (or do so sporadically), and thus do not autosync either. Just something to check before you disconnect when syncing.
