If you're a Windows user & you have a current version of Winamp, you can 
play an ogg vorbis file just the same as you can play an mp3 file. It's 
a better, smaller, open-source lossy compression scheme.

If you're a Linux user, you're already all set, unless you haven't 
updated anything audio-wise in like 4 years.

If you're a Mac user, you'll need the Xiph quicktime framework, which 
you can download here:

Copyright law would prevent me from giving you permission to burn any 
radio show to CD and distribute it, even if you were giving it away, but 
once it goes out over the air, there's nothing (other than copyright 
law) to keep you from doing whatever you want.

(technically the DMCA probably prohibits me from redistributing my show 
online, even as a limited-time-period podcast, without paying additional 
royalties, but I'm going to plead ignorance up til the last possible 
second on that one)

To do the cutting your best bet is to install Audacity ;-)
