How to Transfer Voice Memos from iPod to Computer

"I have a fairly large voice memo that is from a lecture series that I wish to download on my computer. How do I locate and transfer this file in Windows? I have already tried the 'Include Voice Memos' option and do not get to see the Voice Memo Playlists in iTunes. Also, since this file is over 3hrs long in duration, there is no way that this can be mailed without loosing a considerable portion of it. I also have other voice memos on my iPod and would like to transfer voice memos from iPod to computer. Anybody knows?"
