Will my podcasts download automatically while I'm away on holiday?

That depends on the podcast software you use.Ìý

Most podcast software will check podcast feeds regularly and download new episodes automatically. However, it may require youÌýmakingÌýsure your computer or device is switched on, connected to the internet, and that your podcast software is running. This may not be possible or practical, so you may need to make other arrangements (e.g. asking a friend to download episodes on your behalf).


Many of the ±«Óãtv's podcasts are available to download internationally through the ±«Óãtv Sounds website.

If you have access to the internet while you're on holiday, you may not have to miss out. Check our How do I download a podcast episode from the website? page for advice on how to download podcasts from the internetÌýbrowser on yourÌýcomputer, mobile or tablet.
