Important technical information for accessing podcasts:
Podcasts are in enhanced audio (.m4a) form which includes graphical frames (e.g., Powerpoint slides) and a soundtrack.
What not to do:
Simply clicking on a podcast file to the right will likely open it in your web browser using the QuickTime (or similar) plug-in. This is not good. With this method of viewing, the slides will be very small and you will not be able to increase their size.
What to do:
To access podcasts, save the linked file onto your computer (ctrl-click on Macintosh, right-click on PC). Then, open the saved file in QuickTime Player (slides appear as a movie in a resizeable window) or iTunes (slides appear as album art in a resizeable window -- double click to enlarge). You can download both programs for free on Mac and PC:
