Select the “Browse the Web” option:

This last sentence is important, what would enable us to download the video lesson we are looking for, but not open iTunes? The answer is the RSS link provided by Google. A quick note, before the explosion of the term “podcasting”, people subscribed to “RSS feeds”. iTunes even allows you to enter the RSS feed if you are an old fashioned subscriber of “podcasts” or “netcasts” as others refer to them.
