National Geographic Traveler recently listed "Nine Ways To Use Your iPod While Traveling," and I'm pleased to see using travel podcasts at number six, since I love 'em. I recently listened to an iToors walking tour podcast called "Subversive Scribes," which talks the tour-taker past some spots where famous scribblers as diverse as Dylan Thomas and Douglas Adams ("Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") wrote, misbehaved or starved in sometimes not-so-long-ago London.
Now, I listened to this on a laptop in my London hostel before heading to the neighborhoods podded, which is not the use to which a podcast walking tour is intended to be put, but I had a great time tuning in to the slightly irreverent spiel (the mentioned location of a "non-Starbuck's cafe" springs to mind). Count on iToors to produce the good podcast stuff that's as entertaining from a couch as a sidewalk -- my last listen with the company, which has since teamed up with indie travel publisher, Rough Guides, was to a Glasgow walking tour set to excellent local music and which is as much fun from an armchair as George Square.
