Will updating the ipod touch with the latest version delete everything?

Well, my ipod hasn't been updated in a while, mostly because I have a ton of podcasts that I don't want to get rid of. Now I know that itunes doesn't really like podcasts coming from the touch itself. So I can't upload my podcasts to my computer, so I was wondering if that updating my ipod from 2.2.1 to the current version would erase all of those. I don't really care about anything else because I have those backed up, but I can't get those podcasts back.
If I can't update it it's fine, I can still put music on it and stuff, but it is kind of annoying not being able to watch any youtube videos or look at podcasts anymore.

The first part of update is making a backup. However, a backup does not include items like podcast, music since they are synced to the iPod. Therefore, unless the podcast are on the computer they will be lost when updating.
Are you also saying that when you click on transfer purchases, the podcast you purchased on the iPod itself do not copy/transfer to the computer? If not, the following discussion tell how to move stuff off your iPod to a computer:
