Rick Steves on Radio and iTunes

I didn’t know Rick Steves had a new weekly radio show until I clicked onto iTunes. There, on the podcast page, complete podcasts of Steves’ hour-long shows are available for free downloading—26 in all. Topics range from the expected—travel in France, Italy and Ireland—to discussions about Argentina, Cuba and Ecuador. I listened to most of the show about Cuba, which featured an interview with author Christopher Baker, and was impressed.
The format allows for a more relaxed Steves than you get on TV, and Steves takes phone calls from listeners. If you’ve yet to jump on on the podcast-listening bandwagon, the shows air on a small handful of public radio stations. Saturday’s show will focus on the Galapagos Islands, Turkey and road trips in the U.S. Southwest.
