Welcome to the future. Presuming you already possess a pair of white headphones connected to some sort of digital audio playback device, please continue neglecting the need for human contact in favor of listening to hours of entertaining sounds in the safety of your own personal bubble. Easily indulge in this fantasy through the magic of podcasting.
WFMU is offering up 16 programs for portable playback, and now the new version of iTunes (v 4.9) supports podcasts. Here's a quick lesson on how to get our podcasts pumping through iTunes:
1. In iTunes, go to the Advanced menu and select Subscribe to Podcast
2. Highlight, copy and paste the http...xml links listed below for the program(s) of your choice in the resulting Subscribe to Podcast window and click OK (more help right here)
3. iTunes will now download the most recent show to your computer, and automatically download new shows each week as they are added
All WFMU podcast programs are listed below, just highlight, copy and paste the "http" address into the "Subscribe to Podcast" window of the new version of iTunes (v 4.9):

Isn't it possible to have links directly to the MP3's on the 'WFMU most recent archives' instead of the m3u playlist? Click and download instead of parsing to MP3 player.
I know a lot about computers and programming, but this iTunes/XML stuff is just to much hassle. Can't get it to work properly. And when it works, i just can't see the advandage to just click and save.

Is there a reason Bronwyn's show (listed on the iTMS podcast directory) isn't listed here as well?
