(This page still being tweaked and updated, but here is where you will normally be able to find the most recent recording.)

You can directly download the show audio:
Click here for Super-Spiffy Higher-Quality Ogg Vorbis audio (which may only be usable in newer devices and software)
-or-
Click here for Lower-quality older MP3 format that should play in even old software or devices
(Either file should be essentially the same size - Ogg Vorbis is a higher-quality format but is not as widely supported as mp3).
