I've added a new set of links that I don't think require the firefox trick. Got them by decompiling the flash player on the TAL site. http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/jomamashouse/ismymamashouse/SHOWNUMBER.mp3 Just replace SHOWNUMBER with the show number, like 314. You can also use this http://www.dirtygreek.org/stuff/tal.php?min=314&max=321

A little something like this from terminal and you can grab them all at once:

curl -O -A ‘iTunes/4.7 (Macintosh; N; PPC)’ http://wbez-tal.streamguys.us:8020/content/300-304.mp3
