Certainly sounds like just a 3G thing.
Check it on my one earlier and got the same. 3GS fine.
Fingers crossed iTunes team sorts that out.
Just checked and mine is now working again. Downloading podcasts on my 3G as I type this. Have to say that I'm surprised they fixed it, but sure glad they did. I use it when traveling and am leaving Sunday.
I still can't. Trying right now and nothing.... Did yu do a restart or anything?
Oh! So Apple didn't fix it then. Ok... here's what I did. Hooked up the 3G to the laptop, downloaded the podcasts I wanted, but noticed that some old podcasts that I'd long since deleted off the 3G were still showing up via iTunes on the 3G. I selected all the half dozen or so old podcast that shouldn't be there and don't show up on the 3G via iTunes on the 3G, and then deleted them via iTunes on my laptop. I then transferred the podcasts I wanted to listen to over to my 3G, resynced, and restarted. And now voila, I can go to iTunes on the 3G and download podcasts again.
Give that a try and let me know if you have the same good luck.
I'm glad that I'm not the only person with this problem. I listen to podcasts more than I watch TV now and to have this facility down leaves a big hole in my day.
What I found unusual is that it's only affecting some podcast shows.... For instance I can still download the Marc Maron, The Hollywood Saloon and The Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith podcasts and not download the more popular shows.... Is this happening to anyone else?
Also, on a side note, it takes my 3G several hours to sync up with my laptop... Am I doing something wrong or is this another "motivator" by apple to purchase the latest products?
Nope, still not working. Ugh I am starting to HATE apple.

Your post had me wondering if EVERYTHING was fixed on mine. It is NOT. Just discovered that the Radiolab podcast is still not showing any podcasts for download.
This I think might be good news. At first, it was just the Who Charted podcast that had the problem. Then later that day ALL of them had the problem. Now, they've mostly come back except for Radiolab. That suggests that the Apple servers are being updated with some change that fixes the problem and that perhaps they just haven't updated the servers with your particular podcast yet?
I too listen to podcasts more than anything else... especially when I'm traveling. More than music now. I guess I must be getting old. ;-)
still not working on my 3g 4.2.1 FRIGGIN APPLE
I had exactly the same problem, and found the embarrassingly simple solution: JUST SCROLL DOWN.
