My new (to me) car can play recordings from a USB memory stick, so I thought I'd try downloading some of Dave Selby's humorous little talks from the PBO/YBW site where they are all listed with nice little pictures and titles. However, apart from the latest one, there is no link to actually download or play them. Is it just me? Can someone give me some idiot-proof instructions ...?
 
1st RANT. I have emailed them a few weeks ago about their RSS feed not being updated. You should be able to download them from here...

https://player.fm/series/pbo-podcast

but their rss feed isn't updating.

2nd RANT. Anyway, you can manually download the episodes but they are recorded in WMA format??? WTF? Yeah, they aren't mp3s.

Well, if you go http://www.pbo.co.uk/news/537142/dave-selby-podcast-mad-about-the-boat you can see the link to "Click here to download the latest podcast" which is a link to http://pbo.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/9093/0000017f8/8eec/WS-30404.WMA
Yup, that is the WMA file.
 
Opens and plays fine for me in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. (Windows 7).... whether or not you like Dave Selby's humor is a different issue.

Just download it and convert it to mp3. Numerous programs will do that.
