Listen to the "Persian Version" podcast

If you missed our Marathon2500 lecture yesterday with Professor Thomas Harrison, "The Persian Version: What did the Battle of Marathon look like from the Persian side?", then you may listen now to the wonderful lecture via podcast.

Click here to listen to this podcast online:

https://www.hidefconferencing.com/wav/rec/21/conf256921_502201404.mp3

Note: if you want to download this recording to your computer, then you do the following:

1. Right-click (or control-click) on the link above.

2. Choose "Download Linked File As"

3. When the dialog box appears, then I recommend you rename it to "PersianVersion-1-18-2011-Harrison.mp3" This is optional - but it's better to have a filename you can recognize. 

4. Then choose where on your computer to place it. I recommend the Desktop because it will be easier for you to find after you download.

5. Then click on "Save" and the download will begin

6. Once it's downloaded, then double-click and it should open in iTunes if you use that.

Thanks!
