Hi Deborah!
Glad you got the file downloaded. Notebook files can be difficult to download and open with some browsers. The Firefox browser makes downloading and opening Notebook files easy.
If you use Safari or IE, you may need to download to your computer without opening the file. Then, make sure the extension is ".notebook"

I also loved your first podcast. I've been a big fan of James Hollis and his "Teachers Love Smart Boards" site since I got my SB a year ago. The podcast is just like having him and Harvey Almarode talking directly to me. I hope the podcast has a long life. The title is perfect.
