Car Talk is currently available as a podcast. So you don't have to record it
in real time. You get two weeks to download a performance.

iTunes used to have only a five minute highlight call for free. And the
only way to get the entire show was to pay for it through Audible.com.
Hence Total Recorder.
They must have made it available since the last time I checked. Great news!

If I were doing this, I would first copy cassette or records to the WAV

You might be right, that manufacturers have a date to stop manufacturing
