Hi Denise,

I presume you have an iPod Nano that won't play Video.
If you can put the podcast into a Music Playlist, see if it then will  
only play the audio on your iPod.


If this doesn't work, do you have Quicktime Pro?
 If so:
1. Select the individual episode and then control click on it and  
“show in finder”.

This will bring up the actual m4v file, for that episode.

2. Open this file in Quicktime Pro. by dragging and dropping the file  
into Quicktime Pro.


3. Go to File > “export”, and select “Sound to AIFF”. Save the AIFF  
file to your Desktop.


4. Drag the AIFF file into your Music Library in iTunes.

5. Check that you have Importing in iTunes Preferences set to MP3,
Then Select the AIFF file in your iTunes Library, go to  Advanced (in  
Menu Bar) or "control click" on the AIFF file and select "Create mp3  
version".


6. There will then be an AIFF & MP3 version.  Remove the AIFF version  
from the library, and move it to the trash just leaving the mp3  
version which will now sync with any device that iTunes syncs to, even  
if it doesn’t support video.

There is probably a better way ,  however you could achieve the goal by

playing them on your Mac

and recording the audio usingWiretap Pro

which will produce a file playable by itunes .

You may need to change the Wiretap Pro preferences to save in mp3  
format to reduce the size

but will need to register it to avoid an overlay message .

If it is saved as an aif format that does not occur

Have fun
