Hi Israel: Can't point you to a podcast. But, the download process is pretty straight forward. I'll give you the basics here, and perhaps someone can point you to more details. Find the site you want to download from on the web. If you're not sure, you can simply google "open office." On that site, search for your download link. It might say, "click here to download," or "download link," or just give the software name, in this case, open office. It will probably display as an "EMG" file, which is a common format for apps to download in. Assuming you've located the link, simply vo space to select it, and vo space to begin your download. The window will change to display "download list," and you'll be downloading your file. It will give you an option to press "clear." which you can safely do to help you determine if your download is done. It won't close that down unless it's finished. You can also close that list window and continue about your other business. If you try to shut Safari downn before the download's through, it'll warn you. Ok, now your file is very likely in downloads. You can go command H to home, and/or get yourself to downloads and find that file and open it. It will either start installing, or show a file to start the process. Hopefully, this will at least give you a rough idea what the process should be. Hopefully I've not confused you too badly.:)
Good luck.
