Hi gang! Several folks have asked me lately how they can save the podcasts if they don't have an iPod or other portable mp3 player. It's very easy to save them and burn them to a CD.

At the top of each podcast post there's a little gray "POD" graphic on the left-hand side. If you right-click on that and choose "Save link as" or "Save target as," you can then download the file onto your hard drive. Beware - the files are HUGE, about 62 MB each! You can then use your favorite audio program to burn the file onto a CD.

At the bottom of each playlist there's a "Direct download" link for the podcast; you can use this link as well, and follow the same steps above.

And don't forget, you can also stream podcasts from the little player at the top right-hand side of the page, to enhance your web-surfing experience!

I hope that helps! Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. And, as always - happy listening and happy dancing! And happy holidays!
