I finally own an iPod

Dwight will be so pleased to hear that I've finally entered the 21st century...

Believe it or not, I received an iPod Nano as part of a Christmas gift package at work. Just in time for my trip to New Orleans, too. I won't have the time or the space to rip more than a handful of CDs for that, but I would like to get a few things on there to make the bus ride home more tolerable.

In particular, I have my eye on the podcasts for NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, which are long enough to really help pass the time, and (unlike some other NPR faves I could name) free to download. I've subscribed to the podcast feed in iTunes and uploaded the most recent week's show, but I'll be damned if I can tell how to get past shows. Am I missing something, or is this just how it is?

UPDATE: OK, thanks to Michael's comment I figured out what I was doing wrong. Still looks like I can only see ten episodes, but that's nine better than what I started with. Feel free to give me more advice in the comments, I daresay I'll need all I can get. Thanks!

Charles - missing the H-town crew up here in the chi. I reccomend downloading John Hodgeman's audiobook for "The Areas of My Expertise" for free from the iTunes music store. If you like This American Life (which I think you're eluding to), you probably enjoy Hodgeman's contributions.

This American Life is now free to download as a podcast (but back episodes you still have to pay for). It's in the iTunes store.
