Defeating Technology: Podcast in Occultation

A while ago, I posted about finding hidden podcasts. I just had another victory. Last Summer, as I've mentioned previously, I discovered a female artist named Kristina Train. In that context, she was the featured vocalist in a Lexus commercial...


... in which she was performing a cover of Aretha Franklin's "I'm Wandering".


Last week, I discovered that, like those Chris Isaak podcasts I found before, Kristina Train performed a live set that was broadcast on NPR all the way back in 2009. I could see that it was still available, but once again there was no download link. I took way too much time last week trying to decipher the location of the mp3 file. I decided to give it another try this evening, and was about to give up and beg help from Facebook, when I looked at the webpage code again and decided to try one more thing, informed in part by looking back at the link to that Chris Isaak link, I was able to find the link and download the file. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I'm looking forward to it, and it'll be nice to be able to listen to it without being confined to my laptop. (I may even listen in the car!)
