Some computers with a particularly slow internet connection may have problems listening to streamed digital content including podcasts. For this reason we make our digital files available for download via our website. By downloading a file it transfers the file from our servers, across the internet to your computer, so that you can play it directly from your computer rather than over the internet.
This page contains important information about how to download your digital download file to your computer.
