find -L ~/PodCast -name *.mp3 -mtime +60 -mtime -68 -type f -printf 
"%h/%f\t%Ty%Tm%Td\n"
This yields files greater than 60 days and less than 68 days old.
I don't see a way to specify dates.
Does bash do date math?  You could write a script to take dates as 
parameters and convert them to days ago for find.
