You don't have to worry about the 'lab', just sign up for w/e is available even if there is a conflict, just ignore it. There are 2 lectures and 1 podcast. Postcasts are released on Thursdays, or Fridays or over the weekend. The releasing times of podcasts have nothing to do with the 'lab' time slots.
Padden just put a lab timeslot as opposed to a 3rd lecture timeslot because if the lecture timings conflict, students don't take the course. But if the lab time slot conflicts, the students try to sort it out with lab cooridnators. Basically she does this so you can take the course but it causes more confusion.
Just remember, there are only two lectures. One podcast. Ignore the lab time.
And yes, the course is relatively easy but be sure to study.
