"free podcast offer: try our donationware program click picture to download .exe"

Stay away from this.

If it's an ".exe" file, it's probably a Windows self extracting archive. It would be interesting to see what's in it, but I think I'll pass. It sounds way too much like a "too good to be true" offer, so it also sounds virusy. Call me suspicious and paranoid (it wouldn't be the first time), but I agree with Nexus5-run Forest, RUN!

That .exe thing is a vocabulary learning program, or at least it claims to be.

Looking around the site, I found this:

To subscribe with iTunes, add the following RSS feed under "Advanced" and "Subscribe to Podcast" in your iTunes:

if you have an audio only ipod: http://www.spanish.ms/podcasts/podcast2.xml

if you have a photo or video ipod: http://www.spanish.ms/podcasts/podcast.xml
So copy those links into iTunes. They work and are, indeed, Podcasts.

I always distrust those "Download this random program!" links. They seem like a great way to get Internet VD.
