Title: Audio Archive question
Post by: HispAfroCzech on March 25, 2011, 01:59:11 PM: Hey everyone! I just registered on here, my name is Brad. I love the best show and am very happy to be a fellow FOT!

Just curious if anyone that works on the show or anybody else knows whether there is a way to get the episodes
that are on the archive that are only available in the "realaudio" format to play on a mac? I couldn't download the
realplayer software that is necesarry to play those episodes and wondered if there's a way to either get them in
quicktime compatible files or how to play them on a mac? Thanks for any ideas you may have!

Martin would say check Real Alternative. Right. Martin?
