Podcaster 5

Podcaster is an app that I use every day on my iPhone, listening to Italian podcasts AND downloading them to my phone. This app is always improving, and it’s one of the reasons I bought an iPhone in the first place!

la Repubblica.it

An app for the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica. Requires a subscription to read most of the articles in full but well worth it! Hoping la Repubblica adds video, Repubblica TV and podcast content soon.

 Download 

Corriere della Sera

Another Italian newspaper. Slightly more useful app than La Repubblica because it has videos. Subscription also required.

This is a great podcast/weekly show about technology, all in Italian! I listen to it as often as I can, and often learn about new apps and technology news by following the show. You can also access previous podcasts via the app, too.
