Just for those who are new to Podcasting...
There's several ways to listen to the Henson Podcast. I'm going to go over those methods, but the first thing you MUST understand is that YOU DO NOT NEED AN iPOD! There. Got that out of the way.
The easiest way to listen is as follows:
1. Download Apple's iTunes.
http://www.Apple.com/itunes - It's Free. It works on PC and Mac and it makes listening to Podcasts a snap.
2. After iTunes is installed, follow this link -

3. After a few moments, that should open iTunes if you've installed it properly and go to the Henson Podcast Page in the iTunes directory. All you need to do next is click SUBSCRIBE and the episodes will be downloaded directly to your computer every time they are released.
Now, I know there are people out there who abhor iTunes, that's fine, it's a free country. There are several other pieces of software that'll allow you to subscribe to the show. There's a (by no means complete) list of them here -

Download one of those and then subscribe to this feed -

Now, you can also listen to the show directly on the web. For this you will need the latest version of Quicktime installed -
http://www.apple.com/quicktime
Just go to
http://www.Henson.com/podcast
Read the show descriptions and click on where it says listen. A new page will load and the mp3 SHOULD start to play. This may take a few minutes to start depending on the speed of your internet connection.
I hope everyone gets a chance to check out these shows and if you'd like to hear MORE, please let Henson know:

If you're still having trouble listening, please let me know and I'll do my best to help you out!
