I see the Siena City Walk audio tour as part of the app, but we won't be using our phones while traveling. Is it available as a podcast through itunes? I can't find it. Any other suggestions?

thank you, but that's what I was looking at. I don't see the Siena City Walk on any of the podcast lists.

Why not use your phone instead of iTunes? Just download the RS Audio app and the walks you want before leaving the USA on wifi. When you get to italy just keep your phone in airplane mode so you dont incur any charges (if you don't have an international data plan). The Siena walk and all the others on the RS Audio app all work in airplane mode offline. as lone as you download the walks ahead of time on wifi. No different then using a podcast when your phone is probably already in your pocket.

Lane- that link allows me to listen on my laptop. I want it on my ipod so we can listen as we're doing the walk on site. Thanks though.
Robert- good suggestion, but we don't carry our phones. When we travel internationally, I use a compact camera for photos (vs the iphone camera), and my mini ipod for listening to podcasts on-site. Easy to handle both of those, and no worries about the security of my phone.
Got it solved, though, with help on another thread- I saved the podcast to my desktop, and then dragged it into the library section of my ipod on itunes. It shows up as a song.
thanks!
