I have a bunch of iMovie video clips and I want to extract only the audio, to edit for use in a radio report. I've already transferred the video with audio to Garageband. What do i do next if I want to get a wav. file into iTunes? (I'm using Garageband 8) Thank you.

How do you get a .wav file into iTunes? The same way you would any audio file. Drag and drop.
Are you asking how to export the audio from GB without the video? To do that just go to Share in the GB menu, select "Export Movie To Disk", then in the dialogue where it says Video Settings set it to "Expert Settings". Hit okay and it will do a mixdown and then bring up the dialogue for how you want to save it. Set it to "Save Audio as WAV" or whatever format you want it to be. On a Mac AIF format would be more standard but it's your choice. And make sure you have the options for that format set the way you want. Name it and save it where you want it.
Then, if you want it in iTunes just import it the way you would any file.
You could also do basically the same thing in iMovie to export the audio if you want to save the step of bringing the clips into GB.
