FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions > FAQs - About Navigating This Site > When I try to download podcasts they take a long time. Why?

The podcast downloads on this site are full session events that we share for those unable to attend in person. Unlike a common mp3 music file (that lasts only from 2-5 minutes overall), these session files are nearly an hour long. Therefore, they are VERY large audio files. While we have compressed these files as far as possible, the sheer length of them will create a lengthy download regardless.

For an easier listening experience we offer streaming media for each podcast; simply CLICK the player to listen (without having to download). This will play the file from our site automatically in your browser. To auto-play media a flash player is required, if you do not have a player enabled on your machine, you will need to download one which you can do for free: 

  • Those using Internet Explorer:  go here.
