  1. Direct your browser to:  www.gabcast.com
  2. Click on "Listen" tab
  3. In the search window, enter "Fundamental" or "Fundamental Questions" - two words
  4. In the list of channels that meet your search criteria, click on the name of the channel that you want:  "Fundamental Questions July 2007"
  5. Click on the orange "play" button for one of the episodes you would like to hear and download
  6. ALTERNATIVE A:  

§       WHILE THE EPISODE IS PLAYING, click on "Download File"

§       This opened QuickTime on my computer and began playing the episode.  Click on the File pull-down menu and then click on "Save Page As "

§       Enter whatever name you want for your copy of this file, but leave the MP3 extension.   Click the "Save" button at the lower right of this window.

6.  ALTERNATIVE B: 

§       If using Foxfire as your browser,  right click on the "download" icon.  Then click on "save link as"  and modify the name and location for saving the MP3 file.   Click OK

§       If using Internet Explorer as your browser, right click on the "download" icon then click on "save target as" and modify the name and location for saving the MP3 file.   Click OK

Now, when you look on your computer in the location to which you saved this file, you should fine an MP3 file copy of the episode you selected from Gabcast.  You can use this file to build an eClip or do whatever else you like to do with audio files!  Good luck.
