To listen to the show from here just go back to

If your computer is using Windows software you
probably already have Windows Media Player installed. If not,
your computer will need a player that can play mp3 files,
such as iTunes , QuickTime or RealPlayer, which can all be
downloaded for FREE.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a podcast?
A podcast is like a radio show that you can download and listen
to whenever you want. What makes a podcast different from
a normal audio file hosted online is that you can subscribe
so it will automatically download to your computer whenever
a new episode of a particular show is released.
I don't have an iPod.
You don't need an iPod to listen to a podcast. All you need
is a computer connected to the Internet that can play audio
files. If you have a portable mp3 player such as an iPod you
can download the podcast file from your computer to your mp3
player so you can listen to the podcast when you are on the
train, walking the dog or sitting in the garden.
Why should I subscribe?
It means that the show will download onto your computer automatically
and you won't have to go and find it each week. It's free,
and you can unsubscribe at any time without even supplying
an email address.
What is an RRS reader?
An RSS reader (sometimes called 'feed reader') can 'pull'
web-based content into it to save you the effort of you having
to go and find it all the time. It's useful because you can
tell your RSS reader what kinds of things you like and they'll
be reliably delivered to your desktop when new content is
released. Using RSS feed readers is also a good way to read
news and keep up to date without being bombarded with too
many emails or spam. The best way to get to grips with RSS
is to just give it a go. A useful list of program and web
browser readers can be found here or via NPG's 'What is a
webfeed?'.
Can I download the podcast files onto a CD?
Yes, just right-click
on 'Listen', then select 'save link as' (Firefox) or 'save
target as' in Internet Explorer, and save the file to your
computer. Then you can burn the files onto a CD.
English is not my first language. Do you have
transcripts of each show?
Yes, you can access a full English transcript of each show
by clicking
the 'Transcript' link.
