Baja Reads and Pod-casts


Just finished Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy, a series of three books about the area of USA/Mexico along the New Mexico/Texas area and northern Mexico. Set in late 30s and 40s, a fascinating read about rural life in small towns on both sides of the border, with horses woven through the story. By the way, I pickup this book after hearing Dan Rather interviewed and asked that he recommend three books, this being one of them.
With the explosion of pod casts, does anyone know if while traveling in Mexico, can you pick up the pod casts on your iPhone or do you first have to down-load them? I'm assuming the latter. Pod casts have completely taken over my drive-time instead of music. I would like to hear some of your favorites.

Love both of these.
The hours and miles melt away when listening to these.
This freakonomics interview with Charles Koch was my favorite
