I have a few like that (such as an episode of The Roundtable Podcast that I was on). So as far as I can TELL, a "saved" episode means that you have downloaded it, but even after you listen to it, and even IF you have "delete after listening" set for that or all podcasts, it never deletes that episode, and it will stay on your hard drive forever. I download everything to my laptop, because I don't like depending on the cloud, and the way the podcast app works isn't compatible with how I listen to podcasts (i.e., listening to all episodes in order, so if I subscribe to a new podcast and episodes go back two years, I download all 2 years and listen to them in order, using smart playlists). Apple has redefined how they think we SHOULD be listening several times, but I'll tell you what I do and what a "saved" episode seems to mean to Apple. I've been using iTunes for podcasting since 2006, when I got my first iPod. To get JUST the ones I've downloaded, I have to also include "Location is not iCloud." Apple's interpretation of either "location" or "this computer" (or both) is not in sync with mine. It still shows episodes that have the cloud icon. Interestingly enough "Location is on this computer" appears to mean absolutely nothing. And for using the Love field to create a smart playlist of all Saved episodes, to get that started, do a Select All on the Saved episode list for each podcast, right-click selection, and Love. Select at same time, right-click selection, and Remove from Saved Episodes. That would make it easier to find the saved ones that are unintentional, and "unsave" them. So, you can't create a smart playlist to show all Saved episodes (for all podcasts), but you can go through each podcast to see a Saved list (per podcast). The Saved episodes for this podcast are listed. At the top of list, click the "tab" for Saved. Show your Podcasts library using the "not classic"view ( menu bar -> View -> View As -> List). That Saved episode list (for each podcast) may help with what you want. The latter meaning is similar to marking an episode with a heart (using Love field). So, I'm going with "saved" meaning an episode that is not automatically deleted after being played (if that setting is enabled) AND that is identified as a personally "liked" episode, because it appears on the Saved episode list for the podcast. Your definition of "saved" makes sense, except (as at test) I Saved one that was in iCloud, and it was Saved without it being downloaded.
