bboyminn:

They really do have Internet radio stations but they are
continually streaming their broadcast out. PodCast, which
is what PotterCast is, was originally meant to be played on
iPod/iTune players. But there was enough of a demand that
they made them available in standard MP3 format, which is
a common digital music format.

The computer iTunes software will play MP3 files as will
Windows Media Player, Quicktime, Real Player, and many
many other 'media' players. 

Depending on your internet connection, you can either down-
load the 22Mb (megabyte) or the 6Mb file. Obviously, the
22Mb has better sound quality. 

You could simply try the 'Listen to it now' option and see
if you have some media player that will play it. I suspect
though that the 'listen to it now' requires iTunes but
wouldn't swear to it. 

Anyway, you can find all the PotterCasts at -

http://pottercast.the-leaky-cauldron.org/

and information on this specific PotterCast (#130) at -

http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/2007/12/18/pottercast-130-the-one-with-j-k-rowling

This is the first half of a two part PotterCast, the second
part will be available next week.
