Hi, I can’t get the mp3 to download, error message tells me the file does not exist. Could just be my pc, except mp3 downloads from RadioNZ worked fine. Anyone else successfully downloaded the mp3? Don’t have i tunes and would rather do audio only to listen to your show while doing the garden, rather than watching it on youtube.
