Use the audio download action
Find the wanted podcast, audiobook or programme in the OHdio app. Radio-Canada places Télécharger in the item’s options menu or its content page, then asks you to sign in or create an account. The stored items are reached through Mon OHdio and Mes téléchargements. Use that download action for disconnected listening rather than assuming that opening an episode page has stored its audio.
Choose the connection used for transfers
OHdio defaults to downloading through Wi-Fi to conserve mobile data. If you intend to use cellular data, open Réglages at the top right and turn off Téléchargement en wi-fi seulement. Make that choice before starting a long audiobook. A transfer waiting for Wi-Fi under the default setting is a different case from a programme that has no download option.
Recognise the rights and website limits
Radio-Canada says some podcasts, music playlists, individual musical pieces and ICI Musique programmes cannot be downloaded because of rights. Downloads also cannot be initiated from the website, where the relevant icon is absent. Use the mobile app for an eligible item; repeatedly looking for the same missing control in a computer browser does not establish a fault.
Save one episode without following the whole show
OHdio’s favourites help distinguishes a whole podcast or programme from one episode. The heart saves the overall show; a single episode can instead be added to the listening list through the headphones icon or Ajouter à ma liste in its options. That list organises what to hear. For offline preparation, complete the separate Télécharger action and find the result under Mes téléchargements.
