Unfortunately, switching between WiFi and 3G is _not_ user configurable. If the WiFi access point is secured, you can simply not enter the key or tell your Kindle to "forget" it and it won't connect. That's how he forced it to use 3G for the podcast.

But, Kindle will connect to open or remembered WiFi networks automatically, and if there's a WiFi network available, Kindle won't connect to 3G.
