MP3 Download Button in Chrome; where's it gone?

Where's the MP3 Download Button gone when using Google Chrome? I can still see this button when using Internet Explorer. It's not that much of an issue, it's just that IE is not my default browser, and, there must have been a change to the website.

Directly downloading the podcasts is my favoured modus operandi, as it's a twice-weekly routine to come to the website.

Yeah, it looks like someone decided to take advantage of Chrome's built-in audio player, so that people who just wanted to "taste" could use it.  Like you, I download for listening on the road, so the change isn't great for me, but I can see how it would be considered convenient for people who randomly come across a cast of interest.
Luckily, the Chrome player will allow you to download the MP3 file if you want.  Just right-click on the play button on the left hand side, and choose "Save Audio As...".  The usual save dialog will pop up, and you're away as normal.

 That's so easy, thanks. I thought I'd tried that, yet clearly I hadn't. And, I've learnt something I didn't know.
Thanks again
