How do I download an episode of a podcast?

If you would rather not subscribe, you can download individual episodes of a podcast to your computer.

The way that you experience downloading will depend on your personal computer; which operating system and browser you are using; and the setup options you've selected.

So, although there may be slight differences in the way you can download, you should be able to do this by right clicking on the green "Download Episode" link and choosing "Save Target As...", "Save Link As...", or a similar option.

Download Episode link

You should then be asked where to save the episode on your computer. All episodes are mp3 audio files.
