HOW TO LISTEN
1. Listen Now
Listen now lets you listen to your podcast via your default media player such as Windows Media Player or Real Player.
In order to do this you need to be online. When you click the HonestReporting Podcast link the media player should appear in a new window, and the audio should start playing automatically.
2. Download
Downloading lets you save a copy of your podcast onto your computer. You can then listen to this whenever you want, or even transfer it onto your portable MP3 player.
How you download the audio will depend on the set up and settings of your computer. Usually, if you want to download the audio you need to click on the link using the button on the right hand side of your mouse. You should then see a list of options including either "Save Target As…" or "Save Link As…". If you select this option (or a similar option containing the word "save") you should be able to save the audio file (MP3) to your computer. Remember to save it to a folder you'll be able to find again later.
If you click on the Download link using the left hand button on your mouse, the audio will usually play. How this happens will depend on the set up and settings of your computer. Usually your default media player will open and the audio will start playing automatically.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to have an iPod or MP3 player to listen to downloads?
No you don't. Anyone with a computer connected to the internet can download and listen to MP3 files. You will need a media player on your computer (many PCs come with Windows Media Player), and you'll also need speakers or headphones. The advantage of transferring the downloads onto a portable player is that you can then listen to them on the move.
I've downloaded an MP3 but I can't hear anything. What could be the problem?
There could be a number of problems, and we're unable to give comprehensive advice. You should check that you have a media player on your computer (e.g Windows Media Player or iTunes). You should also check that the sound is turned up on your machine, and that your speakers or headphones are connected.
I’m clicking on the download and it’s playing rather than downloading to my computer. Why is this happening?
The way that you experience MP3 downloads will depend on your setup – e.g. whether you are on a PC or Mac, and which operating system and browser you are using. In many cases clicking with the left button on the download link or icon will play the file. Clicking with the right button on the link or icon should display a list of options. One of these options is likely to be "Save Target As…" or "Save Link As…". If you select this option (or any similar option containing the word "Save") then you should be able to save the MP3 to your computer.
