Very nicely done. The podcast is a 13 minute video program which describes an interactive webquest based on the following site: http://callejero.paginasamarillas.es/home.asp . The download is large (76.2 mg - so you do not want to use a modem to download the file) and is in the m4v format which means it basically needs either QuickTime or iTunes which incorporates Quick Time to watch the program. RealPlayer and Windows Media Player do not appear to do .m4v files.
