This American Life

8888

Ok so I'm super cheap and I'm looking to find downloads of This American Life episodes (NPR - Ira Glass) for free. I know that audible.com sells them but I don't want to pay $4 per show. I want to listen to the show on my ipod, so the streaming option doesn't work.
Does anyone know where I can get them for cheaper than $4?

Check to see if your library has any copies of CD's they've released.
That 's another good source, though limited on the number of episodes.

you can use a recording program and record the stream (if you can't find freeware then you can probably use a demo with a limited number of uses to see if you like it -check out downloads on CNET).

i used this method for awhile, but all my shows are now podcasted. money-grub'n ira glass.

i used a program called audio cd converter which has a recording feature. never bought it, the demo came with 30 free uses -it probably costs 20 bucks or so.

there may be something better out there -search recording software on download.com.

there are many free plugins available for winamp, the most notable is streamripper...it will even get the names and name each song
