Sadly this title is not free, not the audio download or the video download. Karen Armstrong's work is truly amazing and gives much insight into religion and relgious concepts. Hopefully a free version will become available.

Not free!

It says "Get this free title from:" All the links go to FORA.tv, and although you can watch/listen to the title, the only way to download it (for later listening on an iPod, for instance) is to join FORA+ at $4.99/month.

So this title isn't really free.
