| Some EdTechTalk shows use audio only Shoutcast streams. This can be accessed using almost any media player. EdTechTalk A is the 'main' stream. EdTechTalk B is used to provide a low bitrate option when possible. |

These instructions are also available as a short 3 minute video screencast/demo [8].
Listening via Shoutcast Audio Stream
We wish there was an easy 'one click' listening option that would serve all users, but that's not yet possible. To listen to Worldbridges webcasts, click on one of the media player icons above. All of the media players listed below can work, but which one is best and/or easiest for you will depend on how your computer is set up. Please note - You do NOT need to use skype in order to listen to one of our webcasts - you only need to use skype or join the teleconference (see below) if you wish to join the discussion to make comments or ask questions.
[2]The default player link (to a .pls file) is the preferred method of listening. Which program it uses to open the live audio stream will depend on which Operating System you are using and which programs you have installed. It should work with ITunes [9], Quicktime [10], Winamp [11], or Jet Audio [12]. Info about how to change the program that is associated with pls files on your system: Windows [13] * Mac [14]
[3] If you would like to listen with Real Player [15] , simply click on the Real Player Icons above.
[4]If you would like to listen with Windows Media Player [16], click on the appropriate links above. This will not work if you are using a Mozilla based browser like Firefox or Netscape.
