How do I restore deleted podcasts?

Question

I was trying to clear some space on my HDD and, my 110GB iTunes library being the worst offender, I decided to move a lot of podcasts onto DVDs. Having burned them to disc, I deleted all but the most recent episode, but just before emptying the recycle bin, I thought it would be nice to print the page showing the title and "information" to store with the disc, so I "restored" them from the recycle bin. Unfortunately, they were restored back to the library system folder, but not to the podcast page, i.e., they don't show up when I click the icon for that particular podcast. I closed and re-opened iTunes, then un-subscribed and re-subscribed, but all I have now is the one episode I didn't delete and the ten most recent episodes showing with "get" buttons, i.e., not downloaded. Any way to move these "restored" files from the system folder back to where they were when I deleted them? Can't imagine that it would matter, but I'm still/again running Ver. 9.0.1.8, because of some problems I had when I briefly updated to 10. All of the files in question were created by the version I'm running - or, of course, earlier versions. It won't be the end of the world if I can't restore them and print that sheet, but I thought this might be an interesting challenge for an otherwise boring Tuesday night. First correct answer gets a free fly fishing lesson. Thanks.

The title and description aren't stored in the media file, but in the feed, so moving the files around won't help. The only way to get this information is to subscribe to the podcast. (You can open the panes containing the descriptions but not copy the contents out as text: you would have to make a screen shot and print it as an image). If the podcast originator has removed episode from the feed you can't get access to the info.
If you can find the originator's website you might find the older episodes there. Looking for the podcast in the Store would be the best way to find this, since there is often a link. In many cases episodes after a certain number are moved to an Archive page, and removed from the feed. The descriptions are often on the web pages, and in that case you would be able to copy, paste and reformat the text.
