We now offer three podcasts — radio, walking tours and video! Podcasts are free and you do not need any special equipment, just a computer with speakers and a high speed Internet connection. If you want to take your podcasts on the road with you, transfer them to any MP3 player. Some people copy the shows to CDs to listen in their cars.

Rick Steves' podcasts are made possible by generous support from American Airlines.
