Over the past two weeks, several Slate readers have written to say they'd like to listen to our new podcasts, even though they don't have digital audio players. Your wish is our command.

Of course, you can still subscribe (for free) to our weekday podcasts through iTunes, or by pasting the Slate podcast URL (http://www.slate.com/podcast/) directly into the podcatcher of your choice. But now, you can also stream or download the MP3 files directly to your computer.
