It worked for me. When I clicked on ‘Listen Now’ on the ‘this week’s show’ page, it opened another window. Is your browser set up to block new windows?

If you are using Windows Media Player just download the latest version from Microsoft and install it. If you are using another program just reload it.

You should not have to open WMP. It should do it on it’s own. Sometimes another program will take over the function of WMP or block the volume. Reloading WMP will get you back on course. Open the speaker icon and make sure all the mute boxes are unchecked.
